Actually, on the router, port forwarding is enabled and port 3389 is
already assigned to the server. There are other port #'s also, which are
assigned to other computers. The port i have assigned for this
particular computer, doesnt work, while all the others do. The computer
itself has a static ip outside of the dhcp range. I thought i would add
a port on the firewall of the computer itself and assign it the number
on the router port fwd, but that too doesnt seem to work. any other
ideas? :)
