Remote Desktop from two different subnets on two diferent routers

[Mark]

i have a situation. i just moved in with my friend and he has a D-Link
router and i have a Linksys. well i ran a ethernet cable from his
router to mine. he has his router setup as a static ip and mine is
setup as dynamic. now his router gave my router a class b address and a
class b subnet mask. my router is limited to class c address and class
c subnet mask. well with that being said, i can remote desktop from my
laptop to his pc, but i can not remote desktop from his pc to my
laptop. i have made sure that my firewall that xp pro has is allowing
remote desktop. i have looked at my router and cant firgure why i can
remote to his pc but he cant remote to my laptop. any help out there?
