We are connected via broadband (cox.net), not DSL.

Yes, checked and double checked. port 3389 is forwarded to one PC on the
LAN. I do have BOTH protociols enabled, should Ijust have the TCP enabled?
I am calling the correct public IP. When I first started this I could NOT
ping the public IP, but after disabling the 'block anonomuys internet
request" I am able to ping the public IP, which I know if a good start.

I didn't want to do this, as I know it's not good, but was willing to try
it. I have since disabled it..

Thanks. I will check the above references for any help.

All of this remote desktop stuff aside, I can not get to teh log on screen
for the router from remote. I am pretty sure once I am able
to do this, RD will work as designed...
