RDC through a router
Sorry,
I'm not sure how dumb a question this is, but...
I just got a laptop for work, so I can bring it home and use it, etc. etc. I have been using RDC to access my home computer at work. Now I am going to connect a linksys wireless router inbetween the modem and computer. Am I going to have to do anything special to connect to my computer at home still from work?

You will need to configure port fowarding on the Linksys box for Remote Desktop which is port 3389 by default.Working on: MCSA 2012 R2 -

If its a new router, you can find the setting under Applications and Gaming.
Make sure you give your laptop a static IP address and set the port forward to that IP.
If you only have 1 device, ie yer laptop... just set it to 100 as your default ip will be .100 on your laptop if you dont make changes.On the road to Cisco. Will I hunt it, or will it hunt me?
