On the first page, if you have dial-up or DSL service that requires a logon and password and the connection is made directly from your computer , click Dial-Up. If you have cable Internet service or you have a router that establishes the connection for you, select Local Area Network.
Now your registered host name will always point to your computer, even when your IP address changes. After a change, it might take up to an hour for the update to occur, but changes should be infrequent. The last setup step is to make sure that incoming Remote Desktop connections from the Internet make it to the right computer.
If your computer connects directly to your cable or DSL modem, you can skip this step. However, if you use Internet Connection Sharing or a connection-sharing router, you have to instruct your sharing computer or router to forward Remote Desktop data through to your computer.
To be precise, you have to set up your sharing computer or router to forward incoming requests on TCP port to the computer you want to reach by Remote Desktop. The procedure depends on whether you are using the Internet Connection Sharing service built into Windows or a hardware-sharing router. Use one of the procedures described in the next two sections. If you use the built-in Internet Connection Sharing service provided with Windows to share an Internet connection on one computer with the rest of your LAN, the forwarding procedure is pretty straightforward using these steps:.
Now you should be able to reach your computer from anywhere on the Internet. If the connection doesn't work, check the "Troubleshooting" section at the end of the chapter for some suggestions.
If you are using a hardware connection-sharing router, setup is a bit more difficult but is worthwhile. First, because your router doesn't know your computers by their names, you have to set up a fixed IP address on the computer that you will be using via Remote Desktop, using these steps:. If you need to set up any other computers with a fixed IP address, use the same procedure but use addresses ending in. Now you have to instruct your router to forward Remote Desktop connections to this computer.
You need to use the router's setup screen to enable its Port Forwarding feature, which some routers call Virtual Server or Applications and Gaming. There you need to enter the fixed IP address that you assigned to your computer and tell the router to forward connections on TCP port to this address.
Every router uses a slightly different scheme, but Figure If a range of port numbers is required or external and internal numbers are entered separately, enter in all fields. To learn more about forwarding network requests on a shared Internet connection, see "Enabling Access with a Sharing Router," p.

This should open a screen, select manage network connections on the right. Now change the automatically find to input this IP and enter that static IP you created Use the other two of the three or if you only have two then use them but they should be different that your created static IP.
One thing to keep in my is that your connection will be the IP of the router. So if you are trying to remote desktop connect to your network, use the IP from the status screen of the router.
You may occasionally have to check to see if your IP address has been changed since service providers can change them if you are not signed up for a static IP address. This can cause connection issues. You may need to perform the take own again. See if says listening. If not, then you have not configured the router correctly or the firewall etc.

I like this software when it is set up for me, but the set-up is almost impenetrable for the layperson. That said, I know these are targeted at the more savvy users, but I think they are hurting their market with the difficult set-up process.

Enabling Remote Desktop opens a port on your PC that is visible to your local network. You should only enable Remote Desktop in trusted networks, such as your home.
You also don't want to enable Remote Desktop on any PC where access is tightly controlled. Be aware that when you enable access to Remote Desktop, you are granting anyone in the Administrators group, as well as any additional users you select, the ability to remotely access their accounts on the computer.
You should ensure that every account that has access to your PC is configured with a strong password. When you enable this option, users have to authenticate themselves to the network before they can connect to your PC.
Allowing connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with NLA is a more secure authentication method that can help protect your computer from malicious users and software. If you're remotely connecting to a PC on your home network from outside of that network, don't select this option. Skip to main content.
