remote desktop

[Guest]

Hello,
I am not sure that this is the right place to post but
here goes anyway. I have xp pro and have run into a
problem using the remote desktop. I have been using it
for the last few months but I recently added a router to
my PC and have since been unable to get it to work. I am
just trying to figure out if there is a setting somewhere
that will let it get past my router.
Thanks

You need to forward/open TCP Port 3389 in the router. Call using the public IP, ie. the ISP assigned
IP, of the router...
