I run a small business and I double up as the tech guy running the company's
small network. The server is still the old NT4.0, although all workstations
are XP Pro. Internet connection is via a TI, and all computers are on
private IP with the server static and all workstations dynamic. I have
enables the host desktop to accept remote connection. The computer that is
intended to be the remote is a laptop. With the laptop connected locally on
the LAN I can invoke remote desktop from the laptop and sign-on to the host
desktop by specifying the host machine name. The problem I ran into is when
I am truely remote with the laptop connected to the Internet via wireless.
When being asked the computer name to connect to, I think I am supposed to
give it an IP address since we do not have a VPN. But then the only public
IP is the router. What should I enter as the computer name?
Thanks.
