Re: Remote desktop behind ICS?

You might try both enabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP in the properties section
for the NICs in each of your PCs...

http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/troubleshoot/netbt.htm

....and using a "hosts" file to map local LAN IP addresses to host names. I
have a hosts file on each of my desktop PCs and my laptop. You can see an
example of my hosts file on this page...

As an added note you might find it easier and more secure to run Remote
Desktop (RDP) to all three of your PCs through a VPN or SSH tunnel. You
would only need to open one port on the firewall and still have access to
all three PCs with RDP or for file access. This *FREE* SSL solution is easy
to setup and use. Use a *strong* password. In this case you only need TCP
Port 443 open on the firewall. This solution includes built-in support for
RDP.

Read the reference guide and the quick start guide closely...

I used a SSH method to access my home LAN at one time...
