 Using iPad 2 to Remote Desktop
Cisco ASA, Cisco PIX, Cisco Routers, iPads, Remote Desktop Connection, Windows XP SP3
Has anyone tried getting an iPad 2 to do remote desktop on a Windows XP pc, through a Cisco Pix (ver.6) router? I know Cisco doesn't have an iPad client for the Pix because it's not ASA.

Software/Hardware used:
PIX 506E, Pix 6.3 software, IPad2, Windows XP SP3

We have several clients that love iPads, VPNs adn RDP.

From the internal wireless network, a lot of them have gone with teh PocketCloud App which does a straight RDP like a PC

For the VPN, they set up PPTP server on their Sonicwall, and the iPads are able to connect to the sites from remote locations, use pre-configured user credentials on said Sonicwall and then RDP as normal

Figure the configuration wouldn’t be too different on the PIX, just do some port forwarding ( <WANIP>:<port> -> 3389 of PC) – which I’ve also seen work for users with laptops/PCs.
