access windows server through bsd gateway

[chamba]

Hi all,

i have a freebsd box running as gateway and inside the lan i have a windows server running domain controller ad active directory. How can i access it from outside via Remote Desktop Application so i can admin all my domain controller remotely.

Now I'm using the basic firewall rules from FreeBS (/etc/rc.firewall rules "OPEN").

The LAN interface of the gateway is 192.168.10.1 and the Windows server is running on 192.168.10.130.

regards/ through

Ssh to your freebsd box and use an ssh tunnel.

$ ssh -L8933:windows.server:3389 [email]user@freebsd.box[/email]

Now use the remote desktop client to connect to localhost:8933.

Do NOT forward port 3389 to your Windows server, it will be a recipe for disaster.

it's not working,

let me be more specific, i'm on a different LAN, at home and the freebsd.box has two interfaces, one PUBLIC and another LAN=192.168.10.1

I ssh to the freebsd.box and there i runned the command $ ssh -L8933:192.168.10.130:3389 [email]chamba@freebsd.box[/email] and it asked me again the password and i type

After that from my Remote Desktop says

connections to host localhost:8933 was closed

what could be the problem?

Run that command on the client machine you are connecting from. Not on the FreeBSD machine itself.

OK, now it tries to connect but says connections to host localhost:8933 was closed

$ channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Operation timed out

The freebsd box needs to be able to access the windows server. The tunnel will end there and a connection from the freebsd box to port 3389 will be made to the windows server.

You may need to allow that traffic on the firewall.
