Hi,
You would use your WAN IP address.
If you're setting up a remote desktop
Go to the port forwarding settings of the MN-700 and then put in the
following:
Description: Remote Desktop
Inbound port(s): 3389-3389
Type: TCP
Private IP address: the IP address of the computer you're setting up the
remote desktop
Private port(s): 3389-3389
To access your computer from outside, run remote desktop and then for the
computer type in your WAN ip address and then you'll have access.
