I just saw your earlier post, so I'll try to follow up on some of
the things Sooner Al alluded to.

On your Netgear router, you have to set up Port Forwarding so it
looks something like this. I'm doing this from memory, so
hopefully I've got it right.

Name Start End IP
RD1 3389 3389 192.168.0.11
RD2 3390 3389 192.168.0.12
RD3 3391 3389 192.168.0.13
RD4 3392 3389 192.168.0.14

Note: Change the IP addresses to ones appropriate for your
network. It also helps to set up IP reservations. Look for that
in the LAN IP Setup section of your router's interface.

You also have to enable UPnP. It's listed near the bottom of the
box on the left.

To connect to each machine you'd enter the external IP address
(the one that's assigned by your ISP) followed by the port
number. For example, to connect to RD1, enter just the external
IP. For RD2, you'd enter the external IP followed by the
redirected port number, e.g. 123.123.123.123:3390. For RD3,
123.123.123.123:3391 and so on.

If you've done all this and are still having difficulties
connecting, then it may be time to look elsewhere. Is the problem
PC running XP Professional? Are there any 3rd party firewalls
such as Zone Alarm, Sygate or Kerio installed? How about Internet
Security Suites such as Norton or McAfee?

File the following away for when you get everything running
correctly:

Unless you have a static IP address assigned by your internet
provider, you might want to set up an account to get dynamic dns
from www.no-ip.com. It's free, reliable and best of all you can
set up a domain name that's much easier to keep track of then a
set up numbers. That way when you go to connect you enter
something like martin.myvnc.com:3391 instead of the IP address
and port number.
