Topic: How to give internet friends access to hyper-v clients on windows server 2012?

I understand up to this part " then it automatically forwards the port range z-y to the client originating the traffic in X."

OK here again, do you want to do the setup right now?
if so can use the public/real IP on a LAN card right now?
if so add me on your skype by the same user name i am using on here.
so you can give me team viewer information to log in your system.

Again, I wanna set it up right the first time... Not gonna do it tonight, bed soon! I'll prepare as much as I can. But no WAN for server...

The feature is called port triggering :p
Basically, outgoing traffic in one port triggers port forwarding in a set of ports...

Aaah ok...

Router detects client port request for X. At that moment, the router  is also alerted that it should  start accepting incoming connections from WAN in port range y-z. Not x, but y-z ;p

The client should be expecting traffic on y-z because the router will forward incoming y-z request to the client...

That kinda makes sense

Thanks! Learned something new, finally ;p

no problem, another time. honestly it's so easy to make VPN server on RRAS, after watching you will feel how easy! and as i said, build the 1st thing easy way and then there is thousands way to mask it for the external network. if you want to do at first complicated way, it's hard and will create a lot of error, when you saw how to do and then you can build your way anytime and can fix error too to making it while making complicated which is tough to do by remotely. lets ... movie time for me .... goodnight for you.

Sooooo... we finally configured her VMs..
As for the windows boxes, there was not much to do, just map some random non-standard port in her router to the corresponding port in the VM, also we made sure the VMs had all static IPs..
As for the Ubuntu 14.04 VM, things got funny, as it results that xRDP doesn't work wiith it out-of-the-box.
After some googling, we had to install xfce4 desktop in the VM, and tell xRDP to use xfce4 for its connections by appending xfce4-session to .xsession file in the user's home directory. We added the file to /etc/skel too so any new user would get the configuration right without extra work.
Tricky part was that Ubuntu wan't accepting external connections (from outside the LAN), so we had to take a look to ufw too, after some hours eveything got working and now Devvie is happy :p

By default, Windows will NOT allow multiple logins through Remote Desktop (servers only: licensing!)

Solution? Sure Enable Concurrent (Multiple) RDP Sessions in Microsoft Windows (Updated for Windows 8.1 & 7)

Thank you both! ♥

Windows 8.1 Hyper-V client does not have sound... How to enable sound?

I'm still testing: this requires a server reboot: will be in a few weeks ;p
