Re: Access my Home Computer



You need to have TCP Port 3389 open on the router to the private LAN IP of
the laptop in order for Remote Desktop to work from your university
computer.

If you can't get your landlord to open TCP Port 3389 then you can look at
something like MyWebExPc to access the device...

It works, but its very slow in my experience...
