    Remote desktop XP for dummies-Crazy888s can u help?

    Well apparently the Zywall 1 router that I have does support port forwarding. I bought a D-Link initially but had problems making it work so the guy at the computer shop offered to replace it with the Zywall which he said was even better. (Hmmmm...did I hear someone say "lemon"?) He...

    Remote desktop XP for dummies-Crazy888s can u help?

    Well, I thank you all again for great and helpful comments which I am sure would work fabulously but unfortunately I can't seem to log on to the router! It has a web configuration tool which worked on initial installation several months ago but which does not work now for some Murphy's Law...

    Remote desktop XP for dummies-Crazy888s can u help?

    Dear Adam, Thank you soooo much for your explanation. I am really touched that you took the time to write it all in layman's terms. Are you a professor? If not, you should think about it! It is now morning for me in Luxembourg so I will try to attack this thing again. I'll let you know how I...

    Thank you too jpm121. You guys (or gals?) are great in responding. I will check out the IP issue. I think I just saw on a website that this Zywall doesn't support port range forwarding (I suppose this is the same thing as port forwarding) so I will look into the other router options. Thanks

    Remote desktop XP for dummies-Crazy888s can u help?

    Thanks smah, especially for the fast reply. I can figure out the router's IP address but your right, it seems to change every 5 minutes or so. Therefore what address do I forward it to? Or do I need to freeze it somehow? And uh, another basic question: any idea where to start on determining how...

    Remote desktop XP for dummies-Crazy888s can u help?

    Dear all, I am not a techie (a techie wannabe though) but out of desperation am writing to figure out how to use remote desktop. I have a tiny company that I just started with a couple of desktops running XP professional, connecting to what I think is a router? (Zywall?) which itself connects...
