Re: Linksys wrt54g: Remote Desktop

Yep, that was the secret sauce I needed to get it to work. I couldn't
find that written up anywhere, but now that I see what to do it makes
sense!

Thanks for the help. I needed both the 192 and the address I get from
myipaddress.

I just cannot access it from work over internet. The steps I folowed
are in:

and used ports 3389.

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?

The only address you use on YOUR side of the network, is the 192.168.1.x
address. To access it from the Internet, though, you need to use the
public address (which you got from myipaddress.com). So, if your public IP
is a.b.c.d, and the machine you're port-forwarding to is 192.168.1.100, you
set up port forwarding for that IP, and access it from the Internet as
a.b.c.d:3389
