Hello all,

My computer is logged on to the university network. We have static IP and I
found my 'real' IP, so not the 10.95. ... stuff. When I try to connect with
that IP, it fails, saying that my computer probably doesn't accept RD. But
then again, if I go to my friend in the same building and I just type in my
computername, it works just fine. Now, can someone please help me out with
this?

cheers

tom
 
See this page for help. Basically you need TCP Port 3389 opened and forwarded on the university
firewall(s) in order to reach your PC from a remote site...
