...other PC getting new Broadband router. HELP!!? Worked perfectly before, I access our accounts dept on a daily basis via remote desktop connection, we have a new router at accounts office and now it won't let me connnect, we're not very technically minded so an idiots guide to what we do next would be great if anyone ccan help. :o))

I bet the new router includes a Firewall ... and (quite right) by default it won't allow external access to the Companies PC ...I also bet that you were not the only one to access the Accounts daily - have you lost any important Clients / Contracts / Tenders lately ? ... perhaps you should consider doing an Audit ...

if you just want to remote to a specific computer you can log into the router and forward port 3389 to the ip of the computer of your choice. Normally it would ask for something to this effect : Destination - 192.168.0.xxx (computer you want to connect to) - port 3389 - Gateway 192.168.0.1(or whatever the ip of the router is). You put these 3 entries in the routing or port forwarding(every router is a little different) section you will be back in action. Personally I would change the 3389 port to something else but that requires working in the registry on the destination computer wouldn't suggest for the novice
