How to address a computer behind router over broadband
Is it possible for me to remotely connect to an xp machine behind a DG842M netgear router that has a 256/64 dsl connection?
I can access the router, but I'm not sure how to access the computer's address inside the local network behind the router.
If I use "remote assistance" it works fine, so there must be some address translation going on in this process that I don't understand.

egiblock, your spot on with what I need
sunray, you were getting close to complete with the 3389 port forwarding suggestion
... one last question ... what type of packets am i forwarding? TCP/UDP or TCP or UDP are the options this router appears to be giving me.

i have opened both tcp and udp port 3389 to access through remote desktop connections.
I guess you mean remote desktop
enable remote desktop in the computer that you want to connect going to right-click mycomputer --> properties --> remote and enable that option
