RDP ending in SYN_RCVD state

Hello Everyone!

The situation:

A: workstation in Company, behind a D-Link firewall, NATed, port 3389 allowed outwards on the firewall for this computer. B: home computer, behind an ADSL router, NATed, port 3389 on the router is forwarded to my computer. C: a web server on the internet, with its own IP number.

All computers are Windows.

So there is NAT on both ends of the line between A and B.

I would like to connect from my Company (A) to my home computer (B) via RDP (Remote Desktop). The connection is never established. When I log into the D-link company firewall, I see that the connection got stucked in a SYN_RCVD state.

I tried to RDP from A to C: SUCCESS, the company firewall let me out. Then, while being in C, I started another RDP within C, to my home computer (B). SUCCESS. So the home network and computer let me in.

Any ideas? I believe I should change something in the company firewall, but I have no idea, what. I can RDP to non-NATed computers, but no go, if the target computer is NAT-ed, even if the other end is configured prolerly.

Thank you for your help in advance. Best regards, Laszlo

Did you try changing the subnet for your home computer so that it won't fall inside the company network subnet ? Theoretically that shouldn't play a role, but in practice it may be of help and btw this should be rather easy to try (and rollback if needed); alternatively you may setup something like LogMeIn (was Hamachi) on both ends and use it to establish a full tunnel on which you may then use RDP, filesharing and whatever else
