help! why cannot remote connect XP laptop to Vista Home PC?

I knew Vista Home does not allow remote desktop connection to it.
I followed some online hack and install some Terminal Service hack
file.
It worked when my laptop Windows XP sits close to the Vista HOME PC,
when the laptop is using wireless and the Vista is using Internet LAN
connection. I made sure my Kaspasky Internet Security Firewall is open
for RDP port.
But the moment when I move out of my home, and bring the laptop to an
outside network, I cann't connect to the Vista Home PC anymore.
Any thoughts?
If RDP to Vista is not an option. What is the next best remote
connection software that allows smooth file transform and clipboard
transfer, as seamless as RDP?
Thanks!

Hi,

From your description I am assuming that at home you are behind a router? If
so, then you need to log into the router and configure port forwarding on
3389 to the internal IP of the Vista Home PC. Otherwise, requests that
originate from an external source will be ignored by the router and never
even reach the taget machine.

You may also wish to consider that you are now in violation of your license
for Windows Vista by hacking the version you have to have to gain access to
features you have not paid for or are licensed to use.
Frankly, with your disregard for licensing and paying for what you use, you
might have well as just stolen (aka downloaded) a version of Ultimate
Edition instead.

Okay! I have no way of configuring the router.
Any other next best remote control software?

Hi,

https://secure.logmein.com/home.asp?lang=en seems to be pretty popular and I
understand it's easy to use.

Without being able to properly configuring the router, no software
product would be of any use.

Why can you not configure the router?
If you read the router user guide from the router's CD or from the
manufacturers Website you should be able to reset the router to its defaults
so you can log on to it from your PC.
What make/model router do you have?

If you can't configure the router, you're stuck.

I would suspect that the OP is not *allowed* to do so.

Whoa Luna Moon--

***Something I saw makes no sense.*** If in fact you are behind a router,
and I'm guessing you are, it makes no sense that you say you have ***no way
of configuring the router.*** Who makes your router? I'll tell you who to
call that will walk you through configuring that router + most router makers
have screen shot steps or someone does on the web. Help me with the concept
that

a) you have a router
b) you lack the way to configure it

We can show you how to get the router configured.

Best,

CH
