I am using Vista and my computer is connected to a router
1. went to whatismyipaddress.com from the computer I want to access and wrote it down
2. went to dynDNS and signed up for a dynamic DNS. I checked the "host ip option" I used auto-detect ip there and it came up with the same ip from above. When I finished signing up I installed their DynDNS updater to my machine in case my ip changes
3. set up a static ip on the computer I want to conncet to.
4. Forwarded the port to the above static ip.
5. Setup DDNS in my router settings:
put in my DynDNS username for "username"
put in my DynDNS password for "password"
put in "myname.kicks-***.net" for "hostname"
selected "dynamic" form the drop down
Then I hit update and it say "updated"
6. Fire wall in windows and router is off.
7. I enabled "allow remote connections" in system on the computer I want to connect with.
8. I had never setup my PC user name so I did that under accounts and assigned a password.
9. Went to my TP and opened RDT and put in:
"myname.kicks-***.net" under "computer"
put in my cumputer's name under "user name"
put in my computer's password under "password"
I left domain blank.
When I hit connect I get:
Cannot connect: 1) specified computer name or IP does not exist. 2) A network error occured while establishing a connection.
I can't figure it out.....What did I miss?????
