Remote Desktop Connection Issue, Only Happens On NTL

[danderson01]

I have NTL freedom Broadband, i.e. NTL but over a BT line with an ADSL connection. I have always used remote desktop connection to access my home computer from work and vice versa, but since moving to NTL or whatever they are now I am unable to connect to my home computer remotely. This issue is only apparent when i want to connect to any computer in my home via my NTL Freedom connection. I recently went to a friends house (BT Broadband) and set up my laptop there and was able to access it remotely without any problems. I also connected remotely to my laptop from my NTL Freedom connection with the laptop connected using Vodafone mobile broadband and it worked fine. I have contacted NTL but they say the problem is with my equipment and that I should have it checked, but I have already tried 5 different modems and not one of them made a difference. I also made sure to forward all required ports ect ect. Has anybody else had a problem accessing Remote Desktop on a NTL Freedom connection? I also have problems accessing some webpage’s especially rapidshare and cannot stream anything from my connection, like when i wanted to set up a radio station or ftp server. I could not get them to work on my connection but they worked fine if I used another internet connection (not NTL).

Thanks in advance for any replies to this issue

Tried changing your proxy server if you're using one?

Click on the Connection link at the top of the page for info.

See the articles here for details on changing etc...

Never had any issues personally but I use logmein (http://www.logmein.com) for all of my remote PC's. It works just the same and you can change the port to 8080 to get access from locations with proxies. You can also save as many PC's as you like in your "my computers" list and it uses encryption to keep you secure.

Oh and its free!
