Port forwarding via Sky router into my PC

swvillafan

Hi everyone,

I would like to be able to access my desktop at home in a similar fashion to that advert with the pidgeons on it.

I have a Sky router (the one that looks a bit like a sky box, not the netgear version) and am running windows xp pro which is fully up to date.

I'm aware that there are applications such as logmein but I'd rather not use these. I have enabled remote desktop on windows xp and I believe I need to put port forwarding on and point it at my public IP address.

Has anyone done this sort of things before and if so could it be done with my setup?

many thanks in advance

Goto 'portforward.com' and search for your router model in the list page. It will show you step by step on how to set it up for port forwarding.

BTW: nice to bump into a fellow Villa supporter!

Hi there, thanks for the web site, will have a look at that later if time permits.

You don't come across many Villa fans down this way so yeah its nice to come across a fellow Villain from time to time, must say we're doing well again so far this season!

Yea, that's what I'm worried about - I hope we don't do what we done last year around Xmas and run out of steam!
