ok. im trying wifi....im am connected
what should i enter for:
computer:
user name:
password:
domain:
?
ps. i have disabled my mcAfee firewall

User name (ie, login) and p-word are the same.

For computer you need to enter the name of your computer, found under control panel, system and security, system....scroll down to "computer name".

ok for my computer i put in my computers name(excluding "-PC")
username and password but get
"cannot connect. likely reasons are:
1. specified computer name or ip does not exist
2.a network error occurred while establishing the connection"

i am over my wifi, and shut off mcaffe firewall..getting a little frustrated here hold me down people

**** this nothing works.

It's simple dude.

1. Setup port-forwarding on your router.
2. Start the Remote desktop app and put in WAN IP of your Internet connection
3. Login with your windows login/password
4. ...
5. profit.

Instead of trying to use your computer name, use the local IP address of the computer you are trying to connect to. (Do Start->Run->cmd->ipconfig, the numbers beside "IP Address" on the computer you're trying to connect to).

Are you using Windows XP, Vista or 7?

[orbxx7]

ipv4 address? tried that=no good

windows 7

[orbxx7]

is this the correct way to port forward for my dlink 514?

SOunds like you need to leave the -PC in there, as that is part of your computer name.

i think i have narrowed this problem down.
i used a program called pfportchecker to see if my 3389 port was open and it said it was NOT REACHABLE. i knew this was the problem either i set it up wrong, or my computer has something blocking it, or i am **** ed

edit: port 3389 is now open, but still cant connect
i changed my name on my computer-deleted the "-PC" part of it
