| Remote Desktop
I just changed my isp from verizon to suddenlink and it was for the sole purpose of using remote desktop with my vista business pc. My setup is a linksys wrt54g router that I have given an internal static ip address to and have forwarded the port 3389 to the static address. And the modem that came with the initial setup from suddenlink. I wish i could give a model number but I just don't see one.
Anyway, within my own network I am able to use remote desktop without any problems at all but when I try to use it outside of the network it won't work. I am extremely frustrated with this and any help would be appreciated.
Is there something specific that suddenlink blocks or does not allow? If so how do I fix it?
Thanks

| Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but you are using the external ip address of your modem/router when trying to access from outside? This would be the ip address shown as your internet ip address on the router status page. If your external ip changes often (though I can't remember the last time mine did) you might need to setup a dynamic domain so you don't have to keep up with the ip address. |

You really need to look at a more secure alternative. RDP is notoriously un-secure.
Logmein or even pcAnywhere would be better. |
