Connection Issues

[Guest]

rt ee When trying out my remote desktop connection, when both computers are
on the same network, I had no problems connecting by using the IP of the
comuter I was connecting to. When trying to connect from an outside location
(i.e., not on the same router), I get an error message saying that "The
client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections might
not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections."

Any suggestions on how to resolve the issue and allow me to connect?

Thanks!

Steve

You need to forward TCP Port 3389 through the router to the private static
LAN IP of the PC you want to access. Call using the public IP of the router.
