I have one fedora box with two ethernet cards.. one connected directly with router which has a public ip address.. and the other ethernet card is connected to private network.... this server is working as proxy server.
well, i have one windows 2003 server which has one network card connected to private network only....

I want to connect to this windows 2003 server from the outside using the RDP... how can i do this?? I mean how this can be done through the fedora server??
can anybody help me in that!!!

thanx in advance

Well, proxy server or not, you have a more complicated situation than you actually need.

Assuming you have a router with multiple ports for the lan area, all you need to do is:

1: put all your computers in the same lan

2: instruct the stations to access the internet via the proxy server only

3.Set up port forwarding on the router for the 2003 station

If you try setting it it via two network cards you're complicating it much more than you can handle, since it's pretty obvious that you already are a bit overwhelmed.
