| 308500 | 2004-12-29 03:30:00 | Out of curiosity I want to try to connect to my home computer remotely from work using Windows XP's built-in Remote Desktop Connection. My home computer is connected to the internet through an external router/modem. Remote Desktop Connection is enabled on the home computer which has Windows XP with SP1. I have a fixed IP address courtesy of Orcon. What setting(s) need to be configured on the router to allow remote access to my home computer, and should I be trying to connect to the home computer using the fixed IP address or using its IP address on the home network? | xmojo1 (4630) | ||

You will then need to forward port 3389 (TCP, but UPD as well if you want to stream sound) to the computer you want to control .
