REmote assistance through Windows Messenger

[Big Booger]

Well,
I tried it, and I get the same message that I got before. I used my IP address at home as the server name to connect to... and it didn't work. Any ideas?

Update:

I was kidding about the gaming over RD.. I know it would take forever for it to work, I have tried it before when XP first came out.. Also tried watching a DVD over RD, totally ran like crap.

Now about the setup, I have the home machine configured to accept remote desktop. I have successfully allowed remote desktop on my Home LAN. No problems. But My LAN has a firewall, as does my work.
I can't get the work to open the firewall, as it is all handled about 12 miles away. Work has it's own provider..


Are there any ports I should open up for my Home LAN firewall?

I will keep at this because this is an important thing for me to do.
Thanks for the help thus far.
