Hello,

I am having a difficult time working out how to get onto my remote desktop
here from home.

There are four XP PRO PC's in the office, each with a static IP address. I
am not
sure how to set up "port forwarding" on the router. I have played with the
IP table but didnt seem to work.

Anyone know how to set this up?

Thanks,

Gary.
PS - I am pretty sure most alcatel router software will be fairly standard
across all alcatel routers...
 
Sorry,

Where is this other posting? I have not seen it and can find it.

PS - I am in the office so on a different news server now.
 
Copy of my response to your prior posting....

By 4 static IP's, are you referring to 4 static public IP addresses or
private IP addresses? If they are private IP addresses, you will need
to forward different ports for each machine (i.e., 3389 for machine 1,
3390 for machine 2, etc and either configure the router to forward
incoming requests on port 3390 to private IP x.x.x.x, port 3389 or you
need to reconfigure the listening ports on each machine).

If they are public IP addresses, the particulars are dependent on your
router type. For this, take a look at your router manual...
