I’ve got 2 XP Pro laptops connecting to a Linksys Wireless router (WRT55AG), which is connected to a DSL modem. I used the instructions found here to set up Remote Desktop, but I still can’t seem to connect remotely. I know I’m just not doing something right with the router config. I am probably not doing the port forwarding thing correctly. Can anyone help?
 
By the way, here is a screenshot of the port forwarding page in my router config. Let’s say I want to connect on port 999 from outside my LAN. How would I configure it, and are there additional configs I need to make in the router?
