I am running Windows XP. I have configured Remote Desktop sucessfully within
my home network and it works great. Now I am on the road and cannot connect
to my home Desktop computer. My router has been set up to forward to my
desktop IP. My firewall has been configured to allow me to connect and does
so when I am running wireless at home.

I use my router IP for computer, Click Connect, then Sign in Username, Tried
both my Desktop IP and my Desktop Username. Neither makes a difference. I
have found and used specific directions for Remote Desktop to be set up on my
router Direct Link DGL 4300. My son came up with the same instructions
independently from me. I haven't been able to find anything I haven't already
tried. Any Suggestions?
