ISA 2006 - RDC to FQDN not external IP

[BABVA]

Hi all,

 

Is there any way I can bend the rules within ISA so I can use MS RDC and enter a FQDN instead of its IP?

 

At the moment my home & outreach server I can access from work using their WAN IP address but the FQDN (name.dyndns.org for example) just error. I read somewhere that RDC doesn't allow FQDN's but internally resolved ones work fine, also that you can use a HTTP parser?? within ISA to allow external FQDNs.

 

Hope that makes sense and someone can help?

Any one got any ideas on this for me?

Let me see if I understand your question correctly: You are at work and you are working behind an ISA 2006 FW and trying to access your home PC via RDP ? It is possible via IP but not via FQDN ?

First check hostname resolving (DNS)...and please post logfile for further troubleshooting

Yes that is correct but it is more so an Outreach site, not my home, that is the concern as when the IP changes we have to update a RDP rule in the ISA. May sound a bit green here but what log file?

Check the Proxy log and firewall log.. can be found in the ISA mmc
