Sorry,
I have looked at as many remote desktop problems as I can and still
cannot resolve my problem. On my Home Computer, I am running XP
Pro, On my laptop, XP Media. At home, on my wireless router
network, I can run the remote desktop wizard and connect
immediately. I can use my laptop, get onto IE and access my home
comuter with my ip/tsweb. However, when ever I go down the street
to the coffee shop and use their wireless connection, get onto IE,
I cannot access my home computer. I have set up Remote desktop on
both computers. I have opened ports on both computers, I have set
both Windows Firewall and McAfee Firewall to establish connections
and STILL cannot connect, unless I am in my house. I have followed
all the threads I can at this point. PLEASE help and Thanks in
advance, Bob

Must have missed something in your reading.

If you have a wireless router - then you also have to setup your wireless
router to forward port requests to computers behind it and you must use the
public IP address when outside your network (the one the router itself
gets.)
