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! |

Asked by dyarosh in Remote Desktop/Terminal Services, Windows XP Operating System, Networking
I know just enough to be dangerous so please bear with me. I just set up a Windows XP Professional Peer-To-Peer network. The network has internet access using Verizon DSL. The DSL modem is a Westell an iis connected to a 3COM 16 port switch. The PCs (there are 4) are connected to the switch. There is a static ip address for the DSL modem. So far so good. Everything works fine. All PCs can access the internet and FIle Sharing has been setup.
Now I need to setup remote access for 3 of the PCs. On the first PC I went into Control Panel ->System -> Remote and checked the Remote Access box. There is only one user on the PC so I didn't have to do anything else. The user has a password to login.
NOw I know how to remote access a PC that has a static IP address that is not hooked to a switch. What I don't know is what do I have to do on the DSL modem to allow remote access?
When I ran remote desktop connection from my laptop, I entered my static ip address into the connect dialog but could not connect. I checked to see if the remote access port (3389 ?) was open and it said it was not.
I've read the different posts that I have found here but I don't really understand exactly where my problem is and how the static IP address will be mapped to the specific PC on the network. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If there is a way to do this that doesn't cost money, that would be great.
