Hi
I have a Speedtouch router at home with several PCs connected. I want to be able to access one of those machines from my office. I changed the router to forward port 3389 to the local (static) IP address of the relevant home PC. I also set the PC to allow remote desktop connections both locally and publically. I determined the external IP address of my router using whatismyip.com.
I am unable to connect from the office. Both office and home PCs are running Windows 7 Ultimate. It still fails if I switch the firewall off on the home PC.
I can connect via logmein in a browser. I can also connect using another local PC (also Windows 7 Ultimate) at home.
I've tried using PortQry from the office and it resolves the IP to a name but declares port as 'FILTERED'
If I do a net stat -a -o on the home PC, it appears to show port 3389 as listening.
Is there a chance there is something I need to change on the office PC to make this happen?
I am tearing my hair out. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
