We have a sonicwall pro 200 and I have a user with a software client connecting via vpn and he is able to use vnc and his mapped drives to connect to servers on the network but he is getting a network error message when trying to connect with terminal services.
Anyone have any ideas.
Are there ports on the firewall or rules I need to set up in order to get him connected?
thanks

The message says something to the effect of "due to a network error your session has been terminated". This is before it even gets to the initial logon screen to the terminal server.

Win2K Terminal Services uses port 3389. You need to open this to allow inbound, or map this port to your Terminal Server.

Most likely you need to open up the port as mentioned in #2. However, I did have a similar problem when I was authenticating on the VPN server and it was not a member of the domain. Once I joined the VPN server to the domain and authenticated on thedomain I was able to access the terminal servers.

I believe that with VNC you authenticate on the domain at the share point similar to using the net use command.
