RD works via lan but not via internet

Hi,

I have problems setting up RD on a computer running Windows XP professional
over the internet while everything works fine over lan. This is the same for
VNC. On Windows 2000 computers vnc works fine.

I have gone through the page
http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.org/RemoteDesktop/RemoteDesktopSetupandTroubleshooting.html
with the following results:

1) Firewall is turned off (windows and other software firewalls, on my
router NAT is turned on).
2) In NAT on the router de ports TCP 3389 (RD) and TCP 5900 (VNC) are
forwarded.
3) My ISP has assigned a static IP.
4) Logging Remote Desktop Connection information > only local logons asre
found (lan), remote (internet) logons are not found in the log.
5) Port reporter > the same as 4)
6) Netstat shows that the ports 3389 and 5900 are being listened to.
7) Port qwery> Local IP address: ports 3389 and 5900 are being listened to.
Internet IP address: ports 3389 and 5900 are being
filtered.
Internet IP address: other ports are blocked.
8) IPconfig information: comparing ipconfig information between the XP and
the 2000 machine I see that IP routing and win-proxy are enabled on the XP
machine and not on the 2000 machine.

I have had the same problems on a XP home machine (with VNC and not RD),
which was not resolved.

It looks like RD and VNC are functioning well on the XP machine in een
lan-setting. VNC is working fine on W2000 machines in a LAN en internet
setting. XP with VNC and RD in a internet setting just want to work
properly. What am I doing wrong?
