Remote Desktop - Need help setting up

I don't think it will get faster because it doesn't use up too much of a 100mbit network.
 
Have you tried our suggestion of trying to connect from somewhere else other than work?
 
Ok. So, here is the latest. I could not get RDP to work. I am now using UltraVNC, forwarded ports, and it worked JUST FINE. I ran a port scan on my IP and found 3389(RDP port) to be open. Can anyone help now, I would much rather use RDP than UltraVNC.
 
It has to be something of the following:

ISP blocks the port(but how can a port scan find it open?)

PC something not setup right

Nothing on router
 
Try opening up a command prompt and telnet into it (telnet 0.0.0.0 3389). Where 0.0.0.0 is your actual public IP.

If you get a blank screen, your connection is open.

If you get a "Connecting To 0.0.0.0..Could not open connection to the host, on port 3389: Connect failed" message, then it might really be blocked at your work. Remember, proxy servers can be set so that user A has rights to connect to anything and user B can only go to port 80 etc. So just because your co-worker can do it doesn't mean you can.
 
Then how come I can use port 5900 just fine from work. By the way, I did the telnet thing and its blank. Any other ideas? Should I try to change the port for RDP in the registry?
