in the username i put my pc username, and my password. in domain i put my ip address. my question is, am i right about how i entered everything and what is the correct way to put in the ip address

Well. lets start with the basics, Have you enabled RDP on the host machine
how are you trying to connect? Over Wifi? over Evdo? If wifi then the computer name method should work, and you should not need to enter the ip into the domain field, leave that blank.
If you are trying to connect over EvDO, then its a bit trickier, 1. you need to know you external IP address (or you can sign up for dydns which makes things easier). You will also need to make sure you have forwarded the necessary ports from your router to the host PC.
Do you have another PC you can use to test with? Click run, type mstsc.exe and try to connect to the Host PC from there, it will help to isolate the issue.
