I can establish a Remote Desktop connection when my
laptop is on the same home network as my host computer,
both behind my firewall.
I cannot establish a remote desktop connection from any
computer outside my network. I get an error that says it
doesn't recognize the IP address of my host computer.
- I have enabled remote desktop within XP pro
- I have forwarded port 3389 to my host computer
- I am attempting to connect to the host computer using
the IP address of that computer as found by whatismyip.com
- I can connect to this host computer at that ip address
using netmeeting, so I know that some data is getting
through to that machine.
What could be wrong?
