Ok. i am finally giving up... tomorrow i am going to call HP Support and get them to tell me how to do this... they have connected to my computer remotly before when i had other problems so maybe they can help me figure it out. and if not then microsoft has left that part of the OS out of my copy of windows vista or something. i have allready checked with my ISP i have contacted my router support and nothing has worked.

If HP cant help me then i am just going to pour gas on my computer and my TP2 and burn them... maybe i can get my nokia 3560 up and running on verizon LOL. something

Im tired of pulling my hair out over this.. i actually felt like throwing my tower out the window earlier and it cost about 2 grand. this just plain sucks. and it boils down to bad programming. setting up one simple program shouldnt be this darn hard. it should be one click. [x] allow this computer to be controlled remotly: you will need this info to connect... yada yada...

but its not microsoft has to be all technical about it.

thanks to everyone that helped out, and if you have any other tips i could try please feel free to jot them down as i will probably not have any luck with tech support either... its just not been my week so far.
