I'm trying to configure my Microsoft Wireless G Router (MN-700), which is currently at my home, to allow me to Remote Desktop in to my computer at home. I have a feeling the steps required to do this are similar across all routers but for the life of me I can't find the correct set up. Has anyone had luck with this?
