Can't access server via RDC through one of the LAN port among two.

hello!!

i have window 2008 server 2 lan port. first public ip address , second private ip internal connection (no gateway ip address). i'm able connect server via rdc via public ip not via private ip. 

pls suggest how can troubleshoot dual connectivity through rdc.

i have seen issue multihomed systems.  i verify connectivity client first.

1. can ping private ip client?

if pings unsuccessful...

are client , server ip on same subnet

i have run problem on multihomed servers.  because default gateway points router on public ip, return traffic server might being sent default gateway.  

to solve need use route add command tell server send return traffic router through private ip.

2. if ping ip, make sure can reach rdp port on internal ip

from command prompt can make connection rdp port (3389 default)?

telnet privateip 3389

if can screen cursor @ top right if can't "could not open connection"

if not connect port, check see if windows firewall might preventing connection.   

3.  if doesn't work i'd follow milo's advice , use netmon.  you might have run client , server full understanding of issue.
