Hello and thanks.

My 1st router Linksys WRT 110 external ip has port 3390 forwarded to ip 192.168.1.101. Same with triggering ports 3390 and address. The same set up has been completed for the 2nd is a linksys WRT54g has the same.


THe settings on the phone has the external ip address port 3390 User name....that is it. Did i mention thank you...

Are you running Windows 7 Home Premium?

The only versions with the "server" of Remote Desktop is Professional and Ultimate. Home Premium does NOT have this.

It has Remote Desktop Connection, meaning it can connect to other PC's, but it is not able to be connected to.

OK... If I'm not mistaken, port triggering will forward your request to the first device on your network that will respond at that port. If I understood you correctly, you will be better off using NAT (Network Address Translation) aka port forwarding.
As far as the port concerned... RDP has a default port of 3389. Have you changed your Remote Desktop Server to listen on 3390?
Also, have you set up your computer to accept RDP requests? Do you have a firewall running which might be blocking your RDP requests?

Finally, a thing to note... if you are running Windows 7, you will have to specify a domain name (your computer name).

Good call, bamfsig45!
Here are instructions on how to enable RDP on Win7 (Turn on Remote Desktop in Windows 7 or Vista - How-To Geek).
If you are running Win7 Pro, Business or Ultimate, you're in good shape, otherwise you might be better off using VNC.

Great thanks. I have tried it on a XP home machine hence 3389 port, 3390 port for Vista premium. I have set the machines to accept RDP in both the firewall and sharing sections. I think the big issue is this morning when i had the "AH HA" moment. I was trying to connect wirelessly. I am not sure if XP home will accept RDP.

Q. Is Remote Desktop available on Windows XP Home Edition?
A.No, however you can upgrade from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows XP Professional to get Remote Desktop. You can use Windows XP Home Edition as the client for accessing your Windows XP Professional computer running Remote Desktop.

According to that answer from (Frequently Asked Questions About Remote Desktop) XP Home does not have RDP

OK now that the "Brain Fart" is gone i will try to run it on an older XP pro box for now.

Search google for an RDP Hack. I know there are some for Vista.
