Hi Guys
I have been trying to connect via remote desktop over the internet to my desktop at home but I have failed miserably upon receiving the dreaded "Remote Desktop Cant Connect" error.
I
port forwarded (3389) the desktop at home with its ip address (static) inserted into the DSL modem
enabled remote desktop connectivity in windows for the desktop at home
tried to connect via remote desktop but nothing worked.. :/
Must I port forward on both modems because I have a dsl modem connected to a wireless modem which the desktop at home is connected to. [I]Update[0/I] I tried to port forward the ip adress with port 3389 on both the dsl router and the wireless router with tcp/udp enabled but still nothing. AHhhh
My setup is as follow:
