Ok, I have an issue regarding a custom domain, and creating hostnames for remote desktop connections. What I want to be able to do is use hostnames to automatically connect to specific computers on my network as remote desktop connections.

Example:

I have a custom domain (custom.com). I have multiple computers that I want to be able to connect to (mycomp.custom.com, http://wifecomp.custom.com, and so on). I want to do that instead of using ports just because it will be easier for all to remember. I tried using a webhop (server.custom.com ---> http://www.custom.com:3389) with no success. I know it works inside and outside my network, so that is not the issue. Any ideas?

The originator has not returned to this question in over a month. Closing to stop the forum bot bumping it pointlessly.

1 Answer:

WebHop is for HTTP (aka Web) traffic only. You cannot use it for RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) or anything other than web traffic (see here for a similar question).

If you have multiple WAN IPs then you can do what you're after by having your router forward traffic on port 3389 (the default RDP port if you don't specify one) on each WAN IP to a different LAN IP. That however is all you can achieve.
