Apparently I did not explain it correctly. The ip address i used was
192.168.1.100. I can do a remote desktop while at home using my
laptop so the firewall and setup is ok.

I just cannot access it from work over internet. The steps I folowed
are in:
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/default.htm

and used ports 3389.

I just got a Linksys WRT54G and I'm trying to use XO Pro's Remote
Desktop to remotely access my home PC which is connected to the wrt54g
via the hardwired LAN port.

I need port forwarding, but apparently the only IPs you can use are
192.168.1.xx Don't I need to put in my PC's actually IP address
(which I got from www.myipaddress.com ? In any event I put in the IP
address I got through ipconfig and unchecked "block anonymous....". I
can now connect "remotely" when I'm inside my LAN from a laptop to my
PC (so obviously remote desktop is set up correctly on home PC), but
cannot connect from work to my home PC.

Help... any ideas?
