Connect to Specific CPU

[flyingman]

I have 5 computer running through a router with the
correct ports open. My confusion lies in the desktop
connection from the client. What IP address do I type in?
ie. My DHCP IP configured by my router for one computer
is 192.168.1.1 but my actual internet connection through
my broadband is 1.2.3.4 . How do I specify which computer
within my network the RD connection should be established?
What if another household member with computer 192.168.1.2
wants to connect at the same time?
Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks
Michael

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255,
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255,
and 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 are all considered private IP addresses.
They can never be available across the public network and indeed many
millions probably use the class C 192.168.x.x range. (I do in my home
network as well). You need to set up forwarding on your router for the kind
of traffic you want to pass through to the private IPs on your private
network. You would then address your router's broadband address from
outside your network. Your router should have documentation on how to do
this, if not, check out your router manufacturer's website for detailed
info.

The best and most secure way to accomplish what you are trying to do is set
up one of the systems on your internal network as a VPN server, then connect
and you will have access to all your local network resources.

This doesnt explain the commmand used in RDP to actually
access this pc. As far as I know, you need to forward a
specific port to each pc, 3389 being the default. so 3389
would go to 192.168.0.1 and 3390 would go to 192.168.0.2
etc.

In RDP i believe you would type in the external IP to
connect to as 1.2.3.4:3389 and you would get the correct
pc. I believe someone else was having additional problems
finding more ports other than 3389 and 3390 to connect
with though so please browse that article as well.

Somone correct me if I am wrong.
