Problems/questions about RDP - and I am not a computer person.
Hi, I have an RDP issue.
Back story:
I never liked computers, and I don't know anything about computers or networking. I decided to buy a Lenovo Thinkpad Android Honeycomb 3.1 tablet for grad school. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit at home. I figured it would be nice to access my stuff at home (Revit, OpenOffice, MASTAN structural alalysis etc.) so I got some fix that allows home versions to act as servers, and learned how to forward ports to my pc and setup a static IP. I tried a few RDP apps, and used them for a few weeks.
Then one day they randomly stopped working. My WAN IP didn't change, so I assumed I got stuck with a Windows update that ruined it.
However, today I reset my router and reboted everything, and it still didn't work. I logged into my router, did some online searching, but I don't think I changed any settings. I did remove and reapply the allowed ports, but that's it.
Yet somehow remote desktop was working again - but there were differences:
Last time I could only have one person logged in at a time, so I had to phone home and tell my wife not to use the computer for a while. Now it seems to be allowing up to 3 users at once! Also, when I use the same Android apps, they don't work as well. It is slower, certain gestures don't work as well, etc.
I know I didn't provide much technical information, but if anyone has any ideas on what is going on it would be great to hear them.
