Show computer name instead of IP address in RDC

[Guest]

Dear All

I have successfully set up a RDC to a remote host, however our MD has
requested that the name presented in the session is the Computer Name as
opposed to the IP address. How do I achieve this?

I see that this is not a problem running RDC on a LAN, but we are connected
over the Internet through the router forwarding to a particular PC.

Many thanks

If you're doing remote desktop connection over the internet, I'm pretty sure
you have to put the IP of the router, so it'll forward it to the PC inside
the LAN. I just setup up RDC over a WAN too, so a computer name won't work.
