Remote Desktop Stopped

[aSussertown]

I can no longer get to my computer via Remote Desktop. I have checked
settings for the port and that seems to be okay in my router software.

In this case, check the following:

1. Double check the IP Address you are using to connect... Most
broadband network providers use dynamic IP addresses that tend to
change.

2. Check that the IP address you are forwarding to (in your router)
is still the IP address of the server machine...

also check if there is no firewall activated on your computer.
I've the same problem on a computer, because the Cisco VPN client as a
firewall integrated and lock any external requests if this simple option is
checked.

Try a simple ping to this computer, then a telnet <machine> 3389
to help you identify the source of the problem.

I'm puzzled by the forwarding. I didn't think I had to do forwarding in
order to work remotely.
I have a Linksys WRT54GS
