I have two machines running behind a Microsoft MN-700 router. I'd like to be able to connect to one of these computers (XP Pro) when I'm away from home (my home computers are connected to the Internet via a fast Comcast cable connection), but I'm having absolutely no success in doing this. Here's what I've tried:
Ping:
When I ping the local computer address (192.168.0.x), it finds it immediately. When I ping the internal router address, again, no problem. However, if I ping the routers WAN IP address, the request times out.
Remote Desktop:
I configured this as follows:
1. Made sure Remote Desktop was enabled on the machine I was trying to connect to.
2. Went into Add/Remove Programs and turned on the Remote Desktop Web Connection and UPnP.
3. In my Microsoft MN-700 router, I turned on "persistent" Port Forwarding as follows:
a. Inbound Port: 3389 - 3389
b. Type: TCP
c. Private IP Address: 192.168.0.x
d. Private Port: 3389 - 3389
4. For the web connection, I also forwarded the following port:
a. Inbound Port: 80 - 80
b. Type: TCP
c. Private IP Address: 192.168.0.x
d. Private Port: 80 - 80
5. Under Security->Firewall, I turned off ICMP command blocking.
If I try to connect to the computer using the local computer address, no problem (standard or web client). If I try to connect using the WAN IP address, I get a timeout, whether I try to connect via the standard Remote Desktop client or the web client.
IIS:
I'm able to access a web page on the computer if I do it internally using the local IP address. Using the WAN IP address, however, I get a "Page not found".
Any ideas? What else can I try? Thanks...
