RDP: Problem getting through the router

[Mike Minor]

I have RDP turned on in an XP Pro pc attached to a router. In the router, I
have port 3389 forwared to that pc's internal 192.168 address. I can access
that pc from through RDP from another pc attached to the same router however
I can not get RDP to connect from an external source. I suspect that I am
missing a setting within the router. The router is a Linksys BEFW11S4. I
have port 3389 forwarded under the Applications and Gaming tab, in the port
forwarding section. Does anyone know what I am missing in the setup here

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Can you talent port 3389 from outside?

Look for the setting that says something like "Block Anonymous WAN
requests" and uncheck that box.

I saw that check box, but wasn't sure if it was part of the equation or not.
I will give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

Did you ever get this working? I am having the same problem with a Netgear
router.
