Hi There<br />
<br />
I have a windows 2000 domain with private IP 172.16.100.0. Connect to a checkpoint firewall [ CheckPoingt NG with Aplication Intelligence] I am trying to connect to an external IP address. Actually the IP address is the outside address on of my DSL at home. I have a linksys router and I have configure remote access to my desktop. I can connect to the external IP address from anywhere outside my office and connect to my home PC. But I cannot connect to my home desktop using remote desktop from my office. <br />
I know its the firewall is somehow blocking remote desktop from connecting to the IP address. I open the 3389 port on the FW but still I cannot connect<br />

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
