Remote Desktop

[Guest]

Hi

Trying to get my head round Remote.

I have used Remote to connect to a friends machine.

What happens when i want to connect to a machine that is behind a Router on
a LAN.

This is all theory for me at the moment, but the only way i can see to
connect is to use the IP Gateway Address on the Internet side of the router,
but how do i get to the LAN address on the other side.

Hope i have made myself understandable.

Thanks

You need to forward TCP Port 3389 through the router to the private LAN IP of the PC your trying to
connect to. Call using the public IP of the router...
