RDP to machine on Internet

I want to make an rdp connection to an ip-address on the Internet from a workstation inside our network. I cannot get this working.

In the outgoing firewall I added a rule to allow the traffic to the specific ip-adrress from green zone. In the logging I see it is being allowed, but I don't get a connection.

What else do I need to configure?

Some more information:

- From the endian console through putty, I can telnet to the rdp-server on the internet on port 3389.
- When I connect from the client, I see in the Endian logging that the traffic gets allowed.

In which area must I find this problem, has it to do with the Proxy Settings? The proxy is running in "non-transparant" mode, because of users needed to be authenticated because of Access-Lists.

I'd like to  confirm my suspicions.  if i'd like to configure a web or FTP server I'd have to configure a DNAT rule , an SNAT rule and an outgoing firewall exception? Is that correct? Three screens to get a simple webserver up?  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong because if not I'lll be looking for another router distro that's not designed by sadists.


On anotther note I read the endian manual port forwarding section, and I still don't understand what the Source and Target options are, they seem a bit redundant and the descriptions are awful.
