Okay...here's what's up. I have opened 3389 using the link from the last link
you gave me and nothing. I changed the WAN blocking as the website said.
Still nothing. On portforwarding.com on the directions it has 192.168.1.xxx,
but when i open up my linksys router i am only given 192.168.100.xxx (100
instead of 1). Could that be it? Also, when I try to login from a public PC
should I use the name of my computer or the IP? And if it's the IP do I put
192.168.100.155 which is the static IP on my remote computer? Or do i put
something like 192.168.100.155:3389? also do i have to put in a DOMAIN? I
can't find one on the router signin? I also changed my TCP port from 80 to
another number. Should i switch it back or does it matter?

Yes, you need a username and password which is local to the PC your trying
to remotely access/control. Also make sure when you test you are *NOT*
calling from another local PC on the same LAN but using the public IP of the
router. That is not a valid test.

Also from the PC you want to remotely access/connect to you can run this
test from the http://www.canyouseeme.org site to see if you have port
forwarding setup correctly...

Okay...I got into the router and made the TCP 3389 open to the static IP
of
my remote computer. But then I tried it again and it didn't work. I still
can
connect through the other 4 computers in the network, but not from outside
it. Do i have to type in a username, password and domain to make it work?

You need to forward/open TCP Port 3389 through any firewall/router to the

I am hooked up at work with 4 other computers and I can get remote
desktop
from all the others, but when I try from home or any other computer I
can't.
I always get the message saying the remote isn't turned on at the host,
there
are too many users or there is a network problem. How can i fix this? I
believe it has something to do with the router, but not sure. Please
help!!!!!
