Re: Remote desktop takes me to generic work PC

Ok Ill try to explain this as best I can.

Your company has one Ip address that faces the internet, and you have a router/firewall/NAT device that shares this one IP connection with all the machines on the local network.

Right now you router is configured to forward all requests on your.ip.com:3389 to the windows 2000 computer in question. (3389 is the default port for Remote Desktop Connections).

You need to talk to whoever administers your firewall/router and ask them to either change the destination for 3389, OR have them forward a different port to your workstation.

then you can access your workstation at your.ip.com:PORT#
