Sorry,
I have looked at as many remote desktop problems as I can and still cannot
resolve my problem. On my Home Computer, I am running XP Pro, On my laptop,
XP Media. At home, on my wireless router network, I can run the remote
desktop wizard and connect immediately. I can use my laptop, get onto IE and
access my home comuter with my ip/tsweb. However, when ever I go down the
street to the coffee shop and use their wireless connection, get onto IE, I
cannot access my home computer. I have set up Remote desktop on both
computers. I have opened ports on both computers, I have set both Windows
Firewall and McAfee Firewall to establish connections and STILL cannot
connect, unless I am in my house. I have followed all the threads I can at
this point. PLEASE help and Thanks in advance, Bob

Must have missed something in your reading.

If you have a wireless router - then you also have to setup your wireless
router to forward port requests to computers behind it and you must use the
public IP address when outside your network (the one the router itself
gets.)
