Re: Opening a port on a adsl router modem

Thanks Al. Is Port Forwarding the same as "opening a port"? The website talks about Remote Desktop, is it the same procedure for Remote Assistance? You say ignore the UDP Port 3389 portion, is this the static IP part of the page, because I think his taltalk connection is dynamic IP?
Thanks for your help.

Yes its the same thing. Oopss I missed the RA part, but yes it sometimes helps to open that port since both RA and RDP use it. You also may find the information in this old thread useful...
