I can get it to work when I have them both at home
connected to my router by typing in the ip address what
do I need to do to be able to access it from a remote
location using the internet. I don't know what to type in
the address field. It seems like everyone I know that has
a router has the same address.Is there a remote desktop
for dummy's book out ?
 
You would access your home computer by using the IP address your ISP
provides... You can find this out by browsing to
http://www.ipaddressworld.com/ from a machine on your home network...

To access your computer remotely, though, you will need to configure
your router to forward TCP Port 3389 to the private/local IP address
of your home computer server. Look at your router manual for
information on how to do this as all routers are different.
