Hi Guys,

I have had a search for this question and I can't seem to find anything.

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to get remote desktop to my home PC from my mobile (Xperia) whilst away from home, I have remote desktop working fine from within my network. If anyone could advise any websites to look or has any guidance on pitfalls etc that would be much appriciated

Thanks

Reb

there are other ways.. which require signing up for a dns service that allows you to have static ip etc..

do you have it working outside your network? as in ex: use a laptop from an outside connection to connect to your desktop on your own network? if not, heres what u gotta do: im not gonna be too specific cause u can probably google it for plenty of guides that will be more specific than i can ever be

forward the remote desktop port on your router to your desktop
set up dynamic dns on your router (best company is probably DynDns.org)
have remote desktop software installed on your mobile device
type in your dyndns address and viola.

good luck
