Linksys router, w/ RD

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

Some things to look at...

1. Did you reboot the PC after makiing the registry change?
2. Can you call the PC over your local home LAN using the new port and connect?
3. Verify the port forwarding on the Linksys router is working by using this telnet test...The test must be executed from a remote location...

The port change doe not take effect until you reboot. The service in
question isn't restartable--and starts with the system.

More and more stuff doesn't require a restart--this is a goal, for
operations that the average user needs to do. This one probably doesn't fit
that category, though.
