Need Help with RD Please

[Jamie Zimmerman]

I don't know what I am doing wrong. But I can not connect to my pc at home
from work. I have everything set up the way that it should be (I Think)..

I have Windows XP Pro SP2, a D-Link DI-614+ Router that is hooked to my pc
via the LAN port #1on the router, I have talked to D-Link about the settings
and they told me the settings (which are set up according to them). I also
have the firewall turned off. The 3389 port cannot be seen by
www.canyouseeme.org , it said that it can not be seen because, Error: I
could not see your service on XX.XX.XXX.XXX on port (3389)
Reason: Connection refused

Please Help me with this situation, I need to run RD for my things that I
have at home, from the office. I do work at home and at work and I need to
access the files instead of copying them to disc everytime.

Thank you, Jamie

See this page for help configuring port forwarding for Remote Desktop
through your home router.

http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-614+/Remote_Desktop.htm

The PC you want to connect to at home should be using a static IP address on
your LAN.

http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm

Call using the public IP of your home router, ie. the IP assigned by your
ISP.

Note that to run the http://www.canyouseeme.org test you must be on the PC
at home that you want to connect with using Remote Desktop.

Lastly, make sure your work network administrators have not blocked TCP Port
3389 outbound. That would disable your ability to connect to your home PC
from work.
