RDP operates over TCP port 3389. Therefore, to enable connectivity to any machine on the network through a firewall you must open this port. Alternatively, if you have to connect to a particular system on a LAN, configure port forwarding on the firewall to send traffic from port 3389 to the specific computer to which you want to connect.

Windows XP access to Linux Samba Shares
To allow Windows XP to access samba shares on a linux samba server, the Windows XP user/password needs to have been enabled in samba with the same user/password. This is configured under the Password Tab in Samba Swat. First Add New User and enter the user/password. And then Enable User. If despite having the same user/password pair and Windows XP fails to authenticate automatically with the samba server share, then check in Windows XP if it is providing the correct user/password for authentication. If the Windows XP user account was modified since creation, Windows XP might be using the original user name instead of the displayed user name , resulting in a failure to authenticate. The user name at the logon screen in Windows XP probably does not match the user name that is used to authenticate to the samba share. Unfortunately, in Windows XP, the only way to fix this is to create another user and migrate all the files of the current user to the new account.

How To Open A Port Range On A Cisco Router
Lets say you want application AAA to have access to UDP ports 5000 to 5020. Your internal address is 192.168.0.1. First create a rotary pool for inside NAT host. Then do a destination NAT with a extended access list:
“ip nat pool AAA 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 type rotary
access-list 102 permit udp any any range 5000 5020
ip nat inside destination list 102 pool AAA”
