Hello,

I have a network of 2 pcs and a router. How can I connect remotely to one of
my pc
from public network?

I know the WAN IP of my connection, but how can I make it thru the router
and
connect to either pc with RDP?

PCs are running XP Pro.

Thanks

Use a *STRONG* password, possibly alternate ports or better yet consider
running Remote Desktop through a VPN or SSH tunnel (one hole open to access
multiple PCs)...
