You will need to make sure that you can connect with another computer first prior to trying to connect with your TP2.
What you need to do is start all over on your router and your computer TCP/IP.
Login to router and reset to default.(192.168.1.1- leave blank/admin)
Computer reset your TCPIP properties to default(use DHCP) and save.
Now we will set your computer to a static IP(outside the DHCP range)-knowing you have a linksys do the following.
IP: 192.168.1.200
subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1(router address)
DNS: 192.168.1.1(router address)
Save these settings. Lets double check this is correct.
Open a command prompt. tpye: IPCONFIG /all
When you press enter the above IP TCPIP info should match.
Now we need to enable terminal server on your computer.
S**t! I just wrote this whole thing and realized your computer OS doesn't support Termanal Server.
XP Home and Vista Home versions do not have the feature to host a remote desktop connection!! You will need XP Pro, Vista Business or Ultimate.
EDIT: I skimmed the thread, but missed what you wrote above-woops. I can finish the directions for you if you get a different OS-let me know.
So, no matter what you do you will be out of luck. Try Logmein Free.
You can also install Windows7 RC1 for free to try it out.

Yeah i downloaded a "hack" as it were that gives vista home (premum or basic) the terminal service.
i can connect from my laptop remotely now and everything is getting through my router ok.
so if i can connect to my PC from my laptop then my static IP should be set up fine. (its not the same as what it was in the picture on the first page of this thread anymore.) now my DNS 1 and DNS 2 are still the same in my TCP/IP settings.. starting with 78 or whatever... its not listed as 192.168.1.1 but i AM able to connect remotly... just not with my TP2
and i thoughs that windows RC1 was closed back in july for beta. i tried like 2 months ago and it said that they were no longer offering the beta out and that i had missed my chance.
P.S. i hate Log me in... log me in doesnt work with Opera and its a pain in the A$$ to log into it using IE on my phone.... i really want to get this RDP working so its simply 2 buttons away at all times.. not have to go through the hassles of logging in to a service that i dont care for..
this has become more of a mission for me then anything. by all rights it should work and its not... and that bugs the everloving crap out of me.
