Can someone explain the difference between Regular Gateway and Direct Mode? When and why use each type?
Hi there, When connecting in Regular Gateway Mode the Session will connect to a client gateway and then to the terminal server. C ----> GW -----TS In Direct Mode the client connects to the Client Gateway to know where it need to connect to then it connects directly to the TS. C ---1--> GW \---2--> TS Usually Regular gateway is used when you need to either pass all the connections through a single point eg. clients on the Internet need to connect to a server in a private network. This is also used when using MS client. Direct Mode is mainly used when the setup is all on in one network, where the client can communicate with both the GW and the TS. This mode is more efficient. Nixu
What's the best way to accomodate a laptop user who uses direct mode at the office, then needs to connect over the internet while traveling? Is there some way to fall back on gateway mode if direct mode fails? Mark
I have 25 TS servers and clients connect to them with Direct Mode Setting. Other day, we had to restart Gateway server and thinking that everyone is on Direct Mode.. we restarted the server.. Guess What, everyone got disconnected. I am looking for a reason why? because it contradicts the statement for Direct Mode.
