Newbie To Remote Desktop

I have two computers, one in Toronto, and one in Thunder
Bay. I need to enable Remote Desktop so that i can
control the computer in Toronto whenever im in Thunder
Bay. Everytime i try to start the remote desktop it only
looks for computers on the local network. Does anyone
know how to do it so that i can connect to the toronto
computer over the internet ( using high speed internet
connections )

Need Help ASAP Plz. Im leaving for thunder bay in 5 days
and i need to enable this thing.

Thanks a lot in advance for everyones and anyones help.
 
Hi Newbie To Remote Desktop,

You need to find out the IP of the computer to which you wish to connect
(the host). From the remote computer you type in the IP address of the host
and it will connect and allow you control of the computer after you log in.

If the host computer has a firewall up, make sure to open tcp port 3389.
