well, I havent made it work yet, but I have seen how it is done...you need to set up port forwarding on the router. Since your router hands out a non public IP address...192.168.x.x, you need to have your remote desktop pointed to the true IP of the router, then since remote desktop uses port 3389 by default. you have to put a line in router that applies logic when 3389 comes in, route to 192.168.x.x (whatever IP your router hands out)....some documentation states to use not just your IP address in connecting....e.g. 68.x.x.x but do it like this when connecting...68.x.x.x:3389....hope helps...post back if you find anything else that might help my plight...
