OK, i'm a bit of a novice at all this networking malarky, so bear with me on this one.

I want to access my laptop via RDC, which is on the home network with a static IP. i have tried setting up port forwarding on the PC that connects to the outside world but the sodding thing just doesnt want to work, and i wonder if a) i am missing something plainly obvious or b) the modem isnt any good for that and i need to toss a router into the mix somewhere along the lines too.

any support peeps?
