Hi there,
Thanks to this article
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/northrup_03may16.mspx
I have managed to set-up the Remote Desktop Web Connection and forward the
correct ports.
The problem I have, is that on my IP, there are two computers, and I need to
be able to connect to my laptop, which is set up for remote connection.
My local ip address is 192.168.1.3
The Home computer is 192.168.1.2
To connect to the desktop, i have to put in the following command (with my
ip) http://192.168.1.120:1374/tsweb/ but how do i enter the network ip and my
local ip? because if I am sat at work, i have to type in the ip address
assigned to my internet connection at home and then I need to connect to my
laptop local ip?
If someone can help, it would much appreciated!
You need to use the public IP of the home PC if its directly connected to the internet or to the public IP of any router the home PC is behind. You will also need to forward/open TCP Port 80 (IIS) and TCP Port 3389 (Remote Desktop). Note that some ISPs block TCP Port 80 because running a web server violates the terms of service for residential accounts.
I'm a bit confused though. Are you trying to connect to a work computer from home or vice versa? Where did the 192.168.1.120 address come from? Where did Port 1374 come from?
Also if this is a work related requirement your work network admins will help you set this up. If its not work related note it may violate company policy to connect your untrusted home PC to the trusted work network or PC.
