connecting remotely

[Guest]

In my office I can connect remotely to the host computer but when I get home
and try I cannot connect. What am I doing wrong? I type the same IP address
to connect to that works in the office. OUr network has a router but it
works fine with computers on the network, but when you are out of the office
cannot connect remotely to the machine
Thanks for any help

Basically you need to forward TCP Port 3389 through the router at work to the private LAN
IP of the PC you want to connect to. Call using the public IP of the router at work.
