Basically you need to forward/open TCP Port 3389 on any firewall/router the
Remote Desktop host computer is behind. Call using the public IP of the
firewall/router as assigned by your ISP.

If you have Vista clients connecting to a Vista host see this page...

If you have XP clients and a Vista host configure the Vista host like
