Remote Desktop on LAN

[John]

I enabled Remote Desktop in one of the computers on the LAN and I have no
problem connecting to it from the LAN. But how can I connect to a specific
computer on a LAN from the outside...from the WAN?

Thansk.

Dunno about remote desktop, never tried it. Sunbelt Remote Admin works
fine for this if you want to pay for it, and VNC works good too and is free.

You need to create a tunnel in your firewall/router that directs
port 3389 packets to your PC's internal IP address.

And, of course, you need to know your external IP address.
Is it static or dynamic?
