409192 2005-11-30 21:47:00 I want to be able to access my home PC from work using Remote Desktop Connection (both work and home PCs run Windows XP Professional SP2). Other than the obvious (enabling RDC on my home PC) what else would I need to do to connect to my home PC? The home PC uses a software firewall (via Trend Micro's PC-Cillin software; WinXP's built-in firewall is disabled) and the D-Link DSL-302g router it is connected to uses NAT rules. The router has a fixed IP address assigned by my ISP and the home PC is assigned a local IP address of 10.x.x.x by the router. What rules do I need to set up? xmojo1 (4630)
409193 2005-11-30 22:10:00 Have a look at this (theillustratednetwork.mvps.org) site. CYaBro (73)

409195 2005-11-30 23:12:00 UltraVNC like Speedy sugested. You then need to forward some ports to the local IP of the computer you want to connect to, I think the ports to forward are 5500, 5800, 5900. Rob99 (151)
409196 2005-12-06 09:06:00 Go for some remote access software like RemotePC or I’mInTouch.
RemotePC (http://www.remotepc.com) is free from Firewalls, Routers and IP Issues.
