Setting up host cpu for Remote desktop

[Guest]

I tried setting up a host cpu for remote desktop. I opened my ports and it
wont work from an outside connection. I can be in the host computer and it
will bring up the log-in page but then says I cant log in from the host
computer.

I use cable for internet access. No router just the modem. Do I have to
change something in the modem?

I even turned the firewall off to see if that was it and no luck.

Note that things like NAV worm protection, OneCare Live, etc can block
incoming Remote Desktop requests.
