Entegy Volunteer Moderator. In reply to Marsorbit's post on February 13, It's not an "idea", it's cold hard fact that has existed for at least 12 years. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. This site in other languages x. Or so the idea is supposed to go. Some people do not like this idea because it may confuse some consumers.
Imagine you aren't a big computer geek and you just brought home a brand new Dell with Windows Experience 8 SP2. You set up your computer and you decide to test its power by playing your favorite game.
What's this? No directX? Fine, whatever. You finish playing your game and you decide you want to connect to your company's VPN.
Now what? You gotta be kidding me! Some people think this will be the negative user experience if Microsoft starts releasing a bare OS while offering you all the things you used to get built-in as an extra charge. I can see how some people would feel "nickel and dimed" to death. Of course, it doesn't have to be that drastic. If your computer connects directly to your cable or DSL modem, you can skip this step. However, if you use Internet Connection Sharing or a connection-sharing router, you have to instruct your sharing computer or router to forward Remote Desktop data through to your computer.
To be precise, you have to set up your sharing computer or router to forward incoming requests on TCP port to the computer you want to reach by Remote Desktop. The procedure depends on whether you are using the Internet Connection Sharing service built into Windows or a hardware-sharing router. Use one of the procedures described in the next two sections.
If you use the built-in Internet Connection Sharing service provided with Windows to share an Internet connection on one computer with the rest of your LAN, the forwarding procedure is pretty straightforward using these steps:. Now you should be able to reach your computer from anywhere on the Internet. If the connection doesn't work, check the "Troubleshooting" section at the end of the chapter for some suggestions.
If you are using a hardware connection-sharing router, setup is a bit more difficult but is worthwhile. First, because your router doesn't know your computers by their names, you have to set up a fixed IP address on the computer that you will be using via Remote Desktop, using these steps:.
If you need to set up any other computers with a fixed IP address, use the same procedure but use addresses ending in. Now you have to instruct your router to forward Remote Desktop connections to this computer. You need to use the router's setup screen to enable its Port Forwarding feature, which some routers call Virtual Server or Applications and Gaming. There you need to enter the fixed IP address that you assigned to your computer and tell the router to forward connections on TCP port to this address.
Every router uses a slightly different scheme, but Figure If a range of port numbers is required or external and internal numbers are entered separately, enter in all fields. To learn more about forwarding network requests on a shared Internet connection, see "Enabling Access with a Sharing Router," p.
