Do I need port forwading if the server is not behind a firewall?
I would think the client wouldnt need any forwarding.

check your port forwarding

Well is there a router between domain2 and Domain1, if so you need port forwarding, Can you connect from within the same domain IP group?
Have you enabled remote desktop for your username?
