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...
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...
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!

And uh, another basic question: any idea where to start on determining how...
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...
