Remote Desktop Connection XP & Linksys WRT51AB

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

Hi all,
I have setup remote desktop connection on my home computer by just
forwarding port 3389 to my pc. I want to set it up at work and we are
behind the linksys WRT51AB router. It has a menu like such to forward
ports:
External Port TCP UDP IP Address Enable
x to x T/F T/F internal ip T/F

I set the external port to 3389 to 3390, turned on TCP and set the IP
address to that of my pc. I enabled it, and for the life of me I
still can't connect to my pc.

Any suggestions for what I'm doing wrong?

thanks
