Connecting to remote desktop from internet?[Resolved]

Has anyone tried this before to connect to remote desktop from internet . I could be able to connect from my LAN & Wireless but I couldn't when I used internet for the connection . I think my problem is that I'm behind the router and my remote desktop is VPN connected . I tried non-VPN connection but still doesn't work . Could it be a router setting (like allow anonymous connection because it's disabled now) ????

Thanks

You need to configure your router to forward port 3339 to the IP of your computer. See this page.

It seems to work now. Thanks for the link.

Maybe someone in the future will need it, also.

lol , I know it was so hard for you to dig in that link ;)

I figured that it would come up again, and remembered that I found it when I looked for it, but it wasn't on the forums. I had a client that I had to walk thru his problems, and used Remote Desktop to do it. :)
