Newbie remote desktop help

[The Green Bean]

I set up remote desktop on a PC and it's working fine within the LAN. But I can't access it from the internet. I set the server up as DMZ and set up no-IP on the same, but I can not access remote desktop with either with the external IP or no-ip address. I'm trying from one of the computers that is within the LAN. Do I need to enable any services on the server computer for it to be accessible from the internet? I can ping both my external IP and no-ip domain fine.

I also think I seriously compromised my security; the no-ip address in IE took me to the routers page. I'm using a netgear ADSL router.

In most cases trying to use local computer to connect to th same LAN using extrenal IP does not work. Many Cable DSl Routr do not support this kind of Routing.

You have to try from a Real other location.

Putting a computer on the DMZ is dangourous forward the RDT ports.

i actually did the same thing for one of my pc and use no-ip as well. not sure why it didn't work for you as I try it and it works. Did you try to disable the windows firewall or allow RDP access on it?
