Anyone know how I can setup the SonicWall to allow access to a Windows 2000 DC Running Terminal Services? IP routing is okay as the Windows 2000 PC can Access the internet through the sonicwall. I have seutp a filter for port 3389 on the firewall but no dice. Any thoughts?

I ahve the same exact setup as. If you are running your DHCP through your Sonicwall you can youe the NAT (Network Address Translation) so you can take your public address and it will match to your private.
.
.Example.

208.214.247.72 is equal to 10.0.0.15
So that when you enter the ipaddress of the terminal external address it will redirect it to your Internal address.

If you are running a windows 2000 server DHCP you have the same option, but I am assuming you do know how to configure IP routing in WIN2K. If I did not explain enough or you want more help please email me.

I have NAT running, and DHCP is running as well on the SonicWall. My problem may be that I have an ISDN router in front of the SonicWall, I have the ISDN router set with NAT and that router has the actual Static IP assigned to it. I have set that router to use a "Visible Computer" as the SonicWall.

Can you get other services to run through the SonicWALL? Do you host a public web site? If so, can you see it from the Internet? Or is this the first external access to internal devices you have tried?
The reason I say this is because I once workedat a place with the SonicWALL DMZ. I had a DSL router from my ISP, and the router was plugged into the SonicWALL.
We set the router for IP passthrough, so my 1 static IP address was not set on the router; it was set on the external side of the SonicWALL. Then I just enabled the port routing in the SonicWALL. In the SonicWALL, I pointed TCP port 80 to the internal IP address of my web server on the DMZ port, and some other services, pointing to internal IP addresses of internal machines connected to the SonicWALL LAN port.
So, since your ISDN router has the static IP address, your SonicWALL then has an internal private address, like 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x?
I am just not sure if the routing of packets will work that way.
Please post some more info on your network design, if you run a public web site, receive e-mail on a mail server, etc.

After I created the port filter, I forgot to go back and assign the service to an IP internally! So after specify the IP of the server it worked. So i am giving you each points cuase I was sleeping.

I have a similar setup which I use for my clients when I cannot get to their offices. Difference is that this configuration is setup on Cisco routers. I have not had the pleasure as of yet to work with SonicWall, but have heard positive things.
I set up a VPN and test it to make sure that it does work. Once I have successfully established the connection, I can then Term Serv to manage the DC('s). Again, I am not sure how SonicWall works, but port 3389 is not on my list of ports to open.

Hope this helps.
