If your computer connects directly to your cable or DSL modem, you can skip this step. However, if you use Internet Connection Sharing or a connection-sharing router, you have to instruct your sharing computer or router to forward Remote Desktop data through to your computer.
To be precise, you have to set up your sharing computer or router to forward incoming requests on TCP port to the computer you want to reach by Remote Desktop.
The procedure depends on whether you are using the Internet Connection Sharing service built into Windows or a hardware-sharing router.
Use one of the procedures described in the next two sections. If you use the built-in Internet Connection Sharing service provided with Windows to share an Internet connection on one computer with the rest of your LAN, the forwarding procedure is pretty straightforward using these steps:.
Now you should be able to reach your computer from anywhere on the Internet. If the connection doesn't work, check the "Troubleshooting" section at the end of the chapter for some suggestions. If you are using a hardware connection-sharing router, setup is a bit more difficult but is worthwhile. First, because your router doesn't know your computers by their names, you have to set up a fixed IP address on the computer that you will be using via Remote Desktop, using these steps:.
If you need to set up any other computers with a fixed IP address, use the same procedure but use addresses ending in. Now you have to instruct your router to forward Remote Desktop connections to this computer. You need to use the router's setup screen to enable its Port Forwarding feature, which some routers call Virtual Server or Applications and Gaming.
There you need to enter the fixed IP address that you assigned to your computer and tell the router to forward connections on TCP port to this address. Every router uses a slightly different scheme, but Figure If a range of port numbers is required or external and internal numbers are entered separately, enter in all fields.

Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I have installed and re-installed my Vista Home premium 2 times already because of Remote Desktop connection.
I have a problem connecting from another laptop running windows 7 to connect to my desktop running Vista. The remote operation works the other way around meaning from desktop running vista the laptop running windows 7 professional.
I have gone though all the forum answers but nothing help. Note you will need to do this again and turn off Boot in safe mode when you are done with the installation otherwise you will only boot in safe mode. Once the computer reboots try extracting again. Make sure to research this if you are having issues. You do not want someone else controlling your remote access. It can create problems if it is turned off read below. You will also need to go into the control panel , select system, remote settings, enable connections for Remote desktop.
Next the router. You want to go to the router You will need to log into your router. Once you are into the router, you will select applications and gaming. You will notice port forwarding appears. Now for the IP address make it Scroll down to Static DNS:1 and input that address we used in port forwarding You can exit the router now. Make sure you have saved.
Time to setup your computer to read this connection. So right click the computer screen with the globe in front of it on the bottom right of your screen.
Select Network and Sharing Center. This should open a screen, select manage network connections on the right. Now change the automatically find to input this IP and enter that static IP you created Use the other two of the three or if you only have two then use them but they should be different that your created static IP.
One thing to keep in my is that your connection will be the IP of the router. So if you are trying to remote desktop connect to your network, use the IP from the status screen of the router. You may occasionally have to check to see if your IP address has been changed since service providers can change them if you are not signed up for a static IP address. This can cause connection issues.
You may need to perform the take own again. See if says listening. If not, then you have not configured the router correctly or the firewall etc. If you are using Windows Mobile 6. Not sure why this is but if you find a fix let me know. Hope this helps and people get this to work first try. I got there by googling everything so you can find more extensive answers out there on specific questions or call an IT buddy.
Again, you may want to research if you are still having issues. There are hacks to make vista do remote desktop but team viewer works for me.
I like this software when it is set up for me, but the set-up is almost impenetrable for the layperson. That said, I know these are targeted at the more savvy users, but I think they are hurting their market with the difficult set-up process. I just keeps giving me errors. I have never seen so many inept noobs all gathered together like this. I can relate with a lot of the frustration in the comments above. But the remote access functionality has come a long way.
