Now you should be able to reach your computer from anywhere on the Internet.
If the connection doesn't work, check the "Troubleshooting" section at the end of the chapter for some suggestions.
If you are using a hardware connection-sharing router, setup is a bit more difficult but is worthwhile. First, because your router doesn't know your computers by their names, you have to set up a fixed IP address on the computer that you will be using via Remote Desktop, using these steps:. If you need to set up any other computers with a fixed IP address, use the same procedure but use addresses ending in.
Now you have to instruct your router to forward Remote Desktop connections to this computer. You need to use the router's setup screen to enable its Port Forwarding feature, which some routers call Virtual Server or Applications and Gaming. There you need to enter the fixed IP address that you assigned to your computer and tell the router to forward connections on TCP port to this address.
Every router uses a slightly different scheme, but Figure If a range of port numbers is required or external and internal numbers are entered separately, enter in all fields. To learn more about forwarding network requests on a shared Internet connection, see "Enabling Access with a Sharing Router," p.

Now you should be ready to make the remote connection. To do so, follow these steps from the client computer the one you are connecting from that is running Windows Vista:. Type your User name in the User name field and click the Connect button at the bottom of the dialog box.
A Windows Security dialog box will appear. Type in your password and then click the OK button. A connection will be made, and you will be able to work on the remote computer just as if you were sitting in front of it. In addition, the remote computer must have an always-on Internet connection for this process to work, and you cannot connect to a computer that is sleeping or hibernating, so settings will have to be adjusted accordingly.
Furthermore, if your remote computer is on a network, your settings may be locked so that you cannot change them. If so, you may have to ask your system administrator for assistance. When you are done working remotely, make sure that you log off completely, so the connection will be shut down. To do so:. I have 2 laptops each with Vista Home Edition. I think this is misleading because I had help from HP one time and they remote logged into my laptop.
So I am confused. Your explanation is very complete but you must be using a higher version of Vista because my System Properties window does not look like yours. You have 3 options plus Users info to complete under the Remote tab. I do not. So, am I wasting my time trying to do the impossible with Home Edition? How did HP connect to me? Thank you. I would suggest that you read through the whole forum carefully before attempting this procedure. Notice that if you have Vista Home Basic the process will not work at all, so first you will have to determine which version of Vista you have.
You will also need to know whether or not you have installed Service Pack 1, because if you have, you will need to use the additional patch.
