Thanks inadvance to the one that can help me. I'm trying to set up Remote Desktop on XP Professional through a BEFSR41 Linksys router. I have forward port 3389 to the host computer but it still doesn't work. Are their more ports that have to be opened and forwarded. I'm also using a DynDns updater program, which appears to be working.

Is the Terminal Services service running on the XP box? IT needs to for this to work.
But yes, you have the right (and only) port opened for this to go through the router.

Is the XP firewall on? This will stop the remote connection unless you specifically allow it in the settings.
