RDP across subnets

by dwlcom . Updated 4 years, 9 months ago

Hi,

I have a question regarding how to setup routing between 2 consumer grade routers on each their subnet such that it is possible to RDP from one network to the other. Specifically I would like to login to PC 1 and establish an RDP session to PC 2.

The setup is as follows:

Router 1 (Netgear RAX 48 )
========================
WAN to internet
LAN 192.168.237.1

Router 2 (Netgear WNDR4000)
===========================
Connected from WAN port to a LAN port on Router 1
WAN = 192.168.237.2
LAN 192.168.238.1

PC 1
====
Connected to a LAN port on Router 1
LAN 192.168.237.10

PC 2
====
Connected to a LAN port on Router 2
LAN 192.168.238.10

I have tried to setup a static route on Router 1 as follows:

Destination IP = 192.168.238.0
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP Address = 192.168.237.2

but am unable to ping or RDP to PC2 from PC1.

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Dennis
