When I was connected to the Internet via a hard line I set up my computer for remote access. Now that I've gone to a wireless network via Linksys Wireless Router and 4-port Switch, I cannot remotely access my computer. I've setup forwarding on my router so that my computers IP is not published and I've gone into the compmgmt.msc and set my name up as a remote user in the group policies and i've also gone to the control panel to set up remote desktop. However, when I select my wireless connection via network connections, it doesn't give me the option to allow remote connections.

Does anyone have a clue how to allow me to connect to my computer?

I know my IP is forwarded to my computer because my computer is acting as a webserver right now.
