I've tried it 2 ways. I have used a dialup connection
and I have also tried it on my LAN connection.
I edited my connection and called it RemoteDesktop. I
have been to the Netgear web site but I really couldn't
find anything there that helped me, hence the reason I
turned to this form hopping to find a fix for my problem.

that router for port forwarding.
