Remote Desktop Not Working with Linksys WRT54G Router

Asked by bugsnbre2 in Miscellaneous Networking, 802.11 Wireless Access Points, Wireless Local Area Network

Tags: LinkSys, Wireless Router, WRT54G

I've been using Remote Desktop for years with Windows XP on my home computer.  I just setup a wireless router using the Linksys WRT54G.  I can remote into my desktop computer from within the network, but no longer can I remote into externally.

I set port forwarding according to the directions on http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/Remote_Desktop.htm.  The only difference is I don't have the "Disable Firewall Protection" option my router menu.   Other than that, I followed all the instructions exactly.

From outside the network, I can ping my router and it seems to come back fine, but I cannot connect using RDP externally.  I forwarded ports 3389 to the internal ip address of the desktop.  Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I may be missing?  If I plug the desktop into the DSL modem, then I can remote desktop just fine.Start Free Trial
