I am not sure that I fully understand, but here is a recap:
- Your Netgear forwards 3389 to Comp A (make sure it is the TCP port that
gets forwarded)
- You can access A,B,C, using RDP in any combination by using either IP or
name
The question is are you trying to access Comp A from Comp B by using the ISP
public IP?
If that is what are you trying then your router will most likely not route
internally, for example:
- Comp A IP = 192.168.0.10
- Comp B IP = 192.168.0.11
- Netgear / ISP Cable Modem IP = A.B.C.D
If you are trying to access Comp A from Comp B by typing ISP address A.B.C.D
it may not work especially with netgear, try new firmware maybe you get
lucky.
If you are trying to access Comp A from outside your network, like your
friends PC, then use A.B.C.D. not name.
To check if it is an issue with your ISP make Comp A DMZ for the purpose of
testing if it works then your port forwarding is not setup correctly in the
router.

I have four computers (A, B, C, and D) in my house. A, B, C, and D are all
Windows XP Professional and all have Remote Desktop enabled. I am able to
use RD within the network so that A can access B, C, or D and B can access
A, C, or D, etc etc.. The firewall allows Port 3389 to be sent to Computer
A.

I can fix problems, show them how to do something, etc. I also fix the
neighbors/friends/other family computers, and those people have agreed with
me to set up Remote Desktop so that I can fix their problems from college.

instance, I can access Computer A by typing "Computer A" in the Remote
Desktop computer name/IP address space (I can also type in the local IP
address on the network, 192.168.0.11) to do this as well); however, I can
not access Computer A (this is the same one the router is programmed to
forward port 3389 to) by typing in the IP address of my cable modem (the
public IP assigned to me).

in the box in RD and it should directly connect to the computer that the
router has forwarded the port to (in this case, Computer A). However, I
simply can not remote desktop over the internet.

> In the "domain" box should I type in the name of the computer I'm
connecting to? Does RD not function correctly when the client making the
request is from the same public IP as the host it's being sent to? Since the
port is forwarded and the remote desktop is enabled on every computer, the
RD call should work, in theory, but it doesn't.
