Here is my situation: I am at home using Remote Desktop Connection to connect to my work network. My work network is an XP peer-to-peer network. I am able to connect to the work computer that hosts the internet connection by using its IP address. My question is: How do I connect to a computer within the work network? More specifically, what should I enter as the computer name when I try to connect? Thanks for the help.

Heres what you could do, on the computer that hosts the internet at work forward a port to the computer you want to control. The default listening port is 3389. If you change the default port to a different one of your choice on the computer you want to control. Then forward that port on the computer that hosts the internet connection. Then go home and change the port that the computer at home tries to connect to. Then when you put in the ip address of your work the request should be forwarded through the host machine at work to the end point machine you are tring to control.

I use a nat or router that allows the internal IP address to be exposed to the wan. Ask your works admin to set it up.
