Re: Remote Desktop Connection not working

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

If you don't have a router between the DSL modem/router device how do you share the DSL modem/router with the second home PC, ie with a switch or hub or does the DSL modem/router have two LAN ports?

Sorry Al,
I should clarify:
Office - 1 computer. This is the one I need to have connect to home server
computer.
Home - 2 computers on same DSL modem/router, 1 is the server that I want to
connect into, the other is at home temporarily - it will be going to the
office as well, eventually. This 'other' computer is the one that is able to
find the home server computer on Remote Desktop Connection.
I don't know if this clarifies anything, but there you go!
Clear as mud!

Well, again if you fail the canyouseeme.org test something is blocking TCP
Port 3389 on your home PC or on the DSL modem/router or your ISP is blocking
TCP Port 3389 inbound to your home connection.

I'm still confused by this statement...
