Hello,<br />
<br />
I am trying to access my home computer from the web over VNC or Microsoft RDP. &nbsp;I have a machine that will respond to login attempts to over RDP. &nbsp;I have registered an address and created an account with DynDNS.org. &nbsp;I have also set port forwarding on my router to take any connection over port 3389 and send it to a local IP address. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
All attempts fail...<br />
<br />
I went to <a href="http://network-tools.com" rel="ugc">http://network-tools.com</a>&nbsp;and tried to ping my cable modem's IP address, that address cannot be resolved and comes up as &quot;request timed out&quot;. &nbsp;I have Comcast for my ISP. &nbsp;Is there any way around this?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Hello,

I am trying to access my home computer from the web over VNC or Microsoft RDP.  I have a machine that will respond to login attempts to over RDP.

I went to http://network-tools.com and tried to ping my cable modem's IP address, that address cannot be resolved and comes up as "request timed out".  I have Comcast for my ISP.  Is there any way around this?

Home PC Access

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).

Broadband

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
