The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

access home PC through RDP

Asked by peterxlane in DSL Lines / Cable Internet, Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Remote Desktop/Terminal Services

Tags: pc, home, rdp, through, access

I am attempting to access my home computer while at work using Remote Desktop. Both computers are running Windows XP Professional. I have a cable modem connection at home which is shared by multiple computers through a Netgear router. If I attempt to access the home computer from another computer on my home network, it works just fine. However, in this situation, I am able to use the internal IP address (not sure if that is what it is called) which is assigned by the router. So for example, I can use computer A (192.168.0.100) to access Computer B (192.168.0.103) and it works just fine.

Obviously, these IP addresses are not available outside of my home network, so what IP address to I use to connect to the target machine? I located what my external IP address is, but attempting to connect to that IP address fails. WIndows Firewall is disabled, and I have gone into the settings on my Netgear router and made sure it is set up to allow remote desktop connections.

Is there something more that I need to do? Also, today I am working from home and using VPN to access my work computer. Is testing the connection from this computer (connected through a VPN connection) a realistic simulation of what I will experience when I am at work, or is this just making the matter more complicated?
