I have a pc running xp pro which is behind a router(netgear wgt624) how i set up a remote connection to my pc if the router gives me a private ip. And how i acces to my pc after the desktop connection has been set up.

Forward port 3389 to the computer you want to RDP to. On the remote client, use RDP to connect to your router's WAN IP address. Please help survivors of Hurricane Katrina! www.redcross.org

Step by step: Make sure you've done the IIS part. Control Panel, add Windows components....Remote Desktop connectio.... 1.check/note your ip address on Host/target computer>.(Start> Run > cmd> ipconfig) 2.Login to your router, usually at the address bar type in: 192.168.0.1, then navigate to Forwarding; forward port 3389 to the ip address that was noted in step 1. it'll have a range like,forward 3389 ~ 3389 to IP 192.168.0.x 3.When you connect from a different computer; type in the ip address, not the router/local ip address. Go to whatismyip.com, it'll show u the ip the ISP assigned. Type this address as the computer name, you can even click Options and click on Disk drives, so u have an option to save data on remote/host or the client computer. you might have to type in the port number also, to do this seperate with a colon. (Example: Computer name: 65.21.23.21:3389 ) I just made up that ip address, dont try it.
