Depending on what brand and model router you need to forward TCP Port 80
(IIS) and TCP Port 3389 (RDC) to the RDC host/server PC on your LAN. This
page has help for that. Note that some DSL modems are also routers so you
need to either put the device in a bridge or pass through mode or figure out
how to forwarded the appropriate ports. That does not pertain to cable
modems. Ignore references to UDP Port 3389 in these pages.

Also make note of my reference to some ISPs blocking TCP Port 80 for
residential accounts. That may preclude you from using the web based method.
Personally I only use the normal RDC method from my laptop while traveling.
The web based method really is a bit more complicated. Generally folks only
use that if the location they are at blocks the use of the regular RDC
client for some reason.
