I cannot access My server pc using remote desktop via internet.

I can access the server via local network.

I have installed Windows 2003 as workgroup server and windows xp as clients.

I am using adsl connection and have adsl router Linksys WAG325N.

Please help to configure router and system to access server via internet.

Unless you have set up the firewall yourself, chances are the firewall will block all incoming connections by default. You may need to unblock the RDP port (3389) in the firewall configurtion (if you can configure that) and set your "DMZ server" to the computer you are trying to access.

You could also set up port forwarding for just that port to forward to the machine you are trying to access.

Let me know if you need more detailed instructions.

It would be best to use a tool like -

VNC
ULTRA VNC
Or other remote acess tools

RDP, VNC and any remote access tools but do you have Static IP address for your ADSL connection....If you do not have static IP address then your ADSL IP will keep changing. In that case either use dynamic dns service or use www.logmein.com (free for personal use) for remote solutions.

If you have static IP then use ADSL router guide (available on their website) to configure it for port forwarding.
