How would I enter the adress of my host computer if it was behind a router/firewall?

so, for example : 26.227.27.225 would be my router IP
and my PC would be 168.198.0.196

I think it triggers through the port 3389 (that i have read) and that it’s also possible to change that port no if required (for example when using port-forwarding options on the router)

What should be what i’m writting down so it works?

Screens are a little different and a bit more security. What sort of options are there now on the RDP options button? I like to use the RDP MMC module in the admin 2003 resource kit (I think thats the name) It allows me to setup multiple pre-defined RDP sessions to all my servers or workstations, etc. My only problem with it is my machines local and network printers are mapped on whatever remote machine I connect to. Sometimes that's a pain -especially when working with a print server. I sure would love to see MS come out with a new version that had more options. Another feature I would LOVE is the ability to remote into a user's session to troubleshoot problems. Issue I have is if they have left and their machine is locked out I'm out of luck without their password. I wish MS would allow me to login as user X but, with Admin Y's username/password. Then I could unlock their session and deal with user session level issues. Doesn’t look a whole lot different from the XP RDP setup. Screens are a little different and a bit more security.
