Since you can connect locally over the LAN from another PC or from your iPAQ,
but not from a remote location, then it comes down to...

1. Using the correct public IP of your router when calling from the remote
location...OR...
2. A port forwarding issue through your router.

Verify the public IP of your router and make sure that is correct.

From the Remote Desktop host PC, ie. the desktop PC on your LAN that you
want to remotely connect to, run the test on the http://www.canyouseeme.org
site. Does that pass? If not, recheck your port forwarding settings.

If it comes down to a port forwarding issue in the router, I suggest you
post to either the...

http://forum.portforward.com/
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/linksys

....sites. Its also possible upgrading to the newest firmware in your router
may solve the issue. That, however, is outside the scope of this news group.

Good luck...

no.....it stated Error: I could not see your service
on (my pc ip) on port (3389)
Reason: Connection timed out


If not, recheck your port forwarding settings.

i have another thought i just set-up wireless network setup located in
control panel.should i have done this before?
i don't use windows firewall i use mcafee i looked again at system
services to see port 3389 open and added router's ip.i did canyouseeme and
now it sees port 3389.i'll go and see if i can get in desktop from miles away.
