My goal is to use remote desktop from home to connect to my office computer at work. At work, I have a 2 wire DSL modem. I have port forwarding setup to forward the remote desktop port to my work machine. (port 3389). When I attempt to connect to my work machine from any other machine within the network, it works. However, when attempting to access it outside of the network (from home or anywhere else) it doesnt connect. It times out stating its either too busy to accept new connections or that its not setup to accept remote desktop connections (which it is). Here is the thing though… when i do the port forwarding for remote desktop to another machine on the network, I CAN connect successfully from outside the network. This means there is something on my computer at work that isnt allowing the forwarding, I assume. I have disabled windows firewall… I dont know what else might be blocking it.
all the machines at work use DHCP to obtain the address.
Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated. This one is frustrating.
