trouble connecting to Remote Desktop
Hello all,
I have been playing around with RD lately, and so far have successfully connected to my machine from another computer in my LAN. The logical next step is to connect from outside. I followed the instructions here for changing the port my computer listens to. Then I called my ISP, and they informed me that by default, all ports are open on their routers.
I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best, but when I entered my IP:Port into RD on another machine (in the same LAN), it just thinks a while and errors: "Cannot connect to the remote computer. Try again" (something like that).
I can still connect by entering my computer name.
What more do I have to do to RD from outside my LAN?
