I would greatly appreciate some advice on why I cannot achieve a Remote Desktop Connection from a remote location yet it works just fine between computers on my LAN.

Here is my setup, 3 XP Pro computers plus a Windows Home Server (WHS) running on a LAN with a Linksys BEFSR41 router.

Let’s assume the internal address of one of my computers is 192.168.1.123. I have the “Remote Desktop” box checked in both Windows Firewall Exceptions and Advanced sections (TCP port 3389) for this computer. I’m also port forwarding 3389 for address 192.168.1.123 in the Linksys router. Shouldn’t things now work from a remote location, what am I missing?

I should also point out that I have no problems accessing my WHS from a remote location. When I make a connection to this server I can view all my LAN computers.

Thanks in advance
