Re: Using Remote Desktop Connection

Are you trying to connect to a home PC?

Is this over the public internet or locally over a LAN?

If its over a local LAN use the PCs private LAN IP address. You can get that
on the PC itself by going to "Start -> Run" and typing cmd in the window.
Then at the command line prompt type the command "ipconfig"...

If its over the public internet you can go to http://www.whatismyip.com and
get the address. Use that to call from a remote location. Remember that if
the PC is behind a firewall/router you need to forward/open TCP Port 3389.

Usually you can ignore the domain entry if your on a home LAN and in a work
group, ie. non-domain environment.
