Remote Desktop Through Router

[Amir]

I have a wireless router to share my broadband connection to my laptop and desktop. When i'm connected to my home wireless network i can use remote desktop connection no problem, but i was wondering how i can access my desktop when I am on my school wireless network? I don't know how i would do it because my router assigned ip addresses to my laptop and desktop, but i don't know what ip address to type in when i'm at school.

I'm running win xp pro on both my desktop and laptop, my laptop is a celeron 1.6 gig, and my desktop is a 733 celeron. I'm using a seimens wireless ethernet card, and a netgear wireless router in my home network.

So basically my question is what do i type in the remote desktop connection in "computer" when i'm connected to my school wireless connection?

You would have to ask your school for the information.

You could also just enter the name of your computer.

To find that just go to control panel >> system >> computer name

using computer name is not going to do you any good cause that name in not known on the out side world,, basically you computer name has to be resolved by a DNS server first,no no ,, that does not work...

you have to look into port forwarding on your router,,, basically you have to setup policy on your router to direct the traffic to your internal network or you could VPN into your router. As far as typing a name on the browser goes; Usually when you have a router your IP stays the same you you have to type in \\youipaddress inorder to get the login screen on you router and take it from there
