   Hi all,   
       I have been trying for days to connect to my desktop PC (broadband)   
   using my laptop (dial-up) using remote desktop connection with no success.   
   The desktop pc connects to the internet via a belkin 54g gateway router. I   
   have set up an 'Incoming connections' connection on the desktop and a 'VPN'   
   connection on the laptop. All firewalls have been disabled and I have   
   enabled port forwarding on the router.   
      
   If I try to access the desktop from the laptop whilst the laptop is   
   connected on the same network, I have no problems at all. If however, I take   
   the laptop off of my network and connect to the internet via dial up, I   
   cannot connect to the desktop with the message 'Could not connect to client   
   PC'.   
      
      
   Could anyone give me some advice as what to check in laymen's terms?   
      
   TIA,   
      
   Mark
