For some reason I'm having a great deal of difficulty setting up remote desktop through my router. I forward port 3389 and do all that but yet I still can't access my pc. I have also tried pcanywhere and realvnc and no luck. I have accounts set up. I can access it sitting at home easy enough. I have tried using my internet ip and internal ip and no go. I would like to get this all figured out because I have had many a customer ask if I could set this up for them. I can also sit here with my wireless laptop and can't connect unless I hook it up wired. Give me some ideas here what to look for.

Make sure your router is setup to allow NAT translation (newer ones have a security thing where it doesn't translate incoming connections) -- and the obvious port is redirected to the right box, the firewall on that particular box allows 3389, blah blah.

What is the model of your Router?
