Remote Desktop Help

[deadwrong03]

ok after i did the gateway in my web browser part it takes me to a screen it says system summary

it has ...

Gateway

Broadband Link

Home Network (and lists all devices on connected to my wifi)

and to the right it says "Firewalls" active

but i dont see anything about port forwarding or configuring ports?




EDIT:

And this is where i got lost .....i went into my firewalls and manually entered remote desktop

then i got this menu

"
Profile Name
Enter a name for the application profile that you are creating.
Application Name: Remote Desktop

Definition
Choose a protocol and enter the port(s) for this application, then click ADD DEFINITION to add the definition to the Definition List. If the application requires multiple ports or both TCP and UDP ports, you will need to add multiple definitions.
Note: In some rare instances, certain application types require specialized firewall changes in addition to simple port forwarding. If the application you are adding appears in the application type menu below, it is recommended that you select it.

Protocol: TCP (i have to pick tcp or udp) UDP Port (or Range):

From: ????? To: ?????
Protocol Timeout (seconds):

TCP default 86400
UDP default 600 Map to Host Port:

Default = the same port as defined above. Application Type:"

Ok, this is good. You're just about there. The protocol is TCP, the port is 3389, use that for start and end since it is not a range we need. and you can name it whatever you want. Just make sure anywhere it asks for a port you just put 3389. then apply/save it and test it out.

im using windows vista home premium

ok i did that i double checked and went to make sure my computer is set to allow remote access which it is. could the version of window im using be the problem? from your steps it look like i did everything right?



i ran the program on my phone and where it says Computer, i went to ipchicken and copied those numbers and put it in that field, then copied my computer user name and password and im still getting an error

"Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1. The remote computer is not set up for this.
2. Reached the maximum number of connections.
3. A network error occurred while connecting."

It does not matter the version of windows that you have. do you have another computer on that same network? If so, make sure you can connect to it locally.

Oh, one other thing disable the built in windows firewall, that could be causing an problem.

Let;s see, in Vista, right click on network places and choose properties, then on the left side click the link that says firewall options...then disable it from there. I could be wrong about those setting. You can also go into the control panel and find the firewall settings there.
