RDP ???

[archmotel]

I am trying to view a computer we have at our business at home using Remote Desktop in WIN XP PRO.

I forwarded the port in the router to that computer. but i am still not able to connect to the computer.

Also just for fun, i typed the ip address at our business at home and it trys to login to the router. is there something i have done wrong??

Thanks for any advice

Is Your machine at work running WinXP Pro? You port forwarded the router at work to the pc internal IP Address correct?

Is the machine in question set to allow RDP?
