I have TWO PC's, and I have just bought a NETGEAR WNR834B Wireless Router. I have connected them both, one wireless (via NETGEAR WN311B), and the other is connected to the Router via onboard nVida 10/100/1000 interface.

Both have internet access working, but now I want to test Remote Dektop between the two PC's.

The IP's are 192.168.1.2 and 198.168.1.3 for the PC's and 192.168.1.1 for the router.

Do I need to set up port forwarding on my router to get Remote Desktop working even if I am only using it internally?

Do I need to specify the User, Computer name and Workgroups (these have not been properly named - so should the workgroups be the same? I haven't managed to 'see' the 'other' computer in any other way yet.

I have added the IP's to be allowed for TCP in/out in the PC firewalls (ZoneAlarm on one and Comodo on the other).

Can anyone help me with all this? Give a me check list of what I need to configure, or check - is there's anything I should NOT do?

I am also considering using a differnt program, such as TightVNC (free)...that'll be fun. I'll be testing a few other free VNC apps to find out which is the best to used to help friends with their computers outside the home network.
