Providing you have watched the first four videos you are now ready to learn to use remote desktop to access your local area network from a remote location. An example of this is you have one or more computers at your office or home that are on a LAN behind a router and you need to access them from a laptop at a coffee shop. Here you will learn about how to configure your router to perform port forwarding.

okay?

[abernets123]

you could have explained it so much better. if i were a novice that would have confused me even further. a demonstration would have cleared up some of the gaps you left open. confusing people with the ipchicken stuff was just silly you did not mention that u need to type as follows into the remote desktop window your ip address followed by the port in the folling format. 55.172.200.43:3389 or whatever port you have actually set up RDC on the server to use
