Okay, this is just a follow-up to my July 2 post about my
NAT/router problem. In all honesty, I don't know much
about networking - but I'd really like to use the
NetMeeting "Remote Desktop Sharing" feature [I know I
can't use the built-into-WinXP "Remote Desktop" feature
because I have XP Home]. Instead of trying to describe my
network setup, I have whipped up a little illustration:

Actually, it's just a screenshot of something I found
in "Help and Support" with descriptions of my
routers/devices/computers/etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to the
community for being so responsive!

I am not a netmeeting guru, but try taking a look at the following
links...

Forward/open TCP Port 1503 through the "Network hub" to the private LAN IP of the target PC, ie. the
192.168.x.x address. Note the reference Jeffrey gave you.

Call using the public IP of the DSL modem. If your ISP provides a DHCP assigned IP address, look at
using one of the dynamic DNS services that map a fully qualified domain name to the DHCP assigned IP
address. Typically a small program runs on the PC and contacts the dynamic DNS services server on a
periodic basis. The IP is mapped to the name and that information is propagated over the public
internet. Call using the fully qualified domain name. I use a *FREE* service from No-IP.com

Others, some free some $$$$, are listed here...

If your ISP provides a static IP address, use that...
