wich port do I need to open, for remote desktop

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

You need port 3389, TCP for Remote Desktop Connection.

For Remote Desktop Web Connection, you need port 80, TCP and port 3389, TCP.

If you have the correct IP address--i.e. it has not changed between the time
you observe it and when you test, the issue may be whether there is some
firewall or proxy preventing the use of these ports OUTBOUND from your
testing location.

Alternatively, some ISP's may block port 80 INBOUND to subscriber lines.

If you are using your WAN IP address, but testing from behind the
router---many routers will not handle this correctly. Either test from
outside or use a dialup.
