Router stops passing RDP traffic

RouterOS General
1

I have a new 450G board with v 3.2 OS. I am having a couple problems with it. First, since rebooting the router (because of problem 2), all inbound dst-nat rules have stopped working, but local users have Internet access. I am outside the network at the moment, so I cannot trouble shoot till I get back to the office. Just wondering what I should look for that might cause the problem.

The second problem I experience is the board stops passing outbound connections to RDP sessions. I have a very generic src-nat rule that uses ether2. All other traffic seems to work, but nothing else I do at the time requires an uninterrupted connection. The problem varies from losing my connection in just a few seconds, to maintaining a connection for a few minutes. Terminating the session locally, and reestablishing it always fixes it, and then I lose it again. I am guessing there is a rule or modification I need to add to the router config to insure the connection stays active, but not sure what that might be.

Sorry if this ends up being a duplicate post. I am not seeing my new post from earlier today.


The dst-nat issue has been resolved. It turned out that although ether2 had a static address from our ISP, it was also pulling a second DHCP address. This added a second default route that led to nowhere. Disabling DHCP on the interface fixed the problem.


RDP sessions continue to be an issue though. I can make the initial connection without any problems, but it disconnects from within a few seconds, up to a few minutes. I can reconnect without any problems. As a test, I connected to an XP box on the net, and minimized the session, once logged in. It stayed connected for over a half hour, but disconnected as soon as I started clicking around on the desktop. Does this make any sense?? Not sure what to modify in the config to prevent the problem
