My German Service Provider is OK. I´m satisfied, except this annoying
problem: I travel a lot around Europe, and would need to use RDC to connect
with my home PC.

But it doesn´t work. My router is 192.168.1.1, and my PC 192.168.1.33. Even
I know these are dummys, using service I found from web I nowknow my real IP.
But I simply don´t find a way to connect to my PC . Get a message " Remote
connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy....."

From ControlPanel --> System --> Remote, I have allowed remote use of my
computer. Please, somebody, can I do something?
 
If your PC is behind a router or firewall remember you need to open TCP Port
3389 through that device to the private LAN IP of the PC you want to
remotely access/control, ie. your 192.168.1.33 address. You would call from
a remote site using the public IP of your router/firewall.

If your public IP, ie. the IP assigned by your ISP, is dynamic look at using
a free dynamic naming service like No-IP.com to map a fully qualified domain
name (FQDN) to your dynamic public IP. I use that service and it works very
well...
