Is this some sort of "test" you are doing or are you trying to connect to a
computer behind the router from one not on the same router?

Who is there to answer the remote assistance request?

the same router

Since both PCs are on the same LAN try this as an alternative...

RA can be slow connecting at times if both PCs are on the same LAN and your
trying to use the Messenger method. Make sure both PCs and the router have
UPnP enabled...

On the PC run services.msc from the "Start -> Run" command window and make
sure the "SSDP Discovery Service" and "Universal Plug and Play Device Host"
services are both *STARTED*.

Check your router manual for information about UPnP for that device.
