    Your description is confusing... but you just need to make sure that port 1723 on the firewall is open. From the RDC client on the computer you wish to use to access the remote computer, type the IP address and click connect. The problem with this method is that remote IP addresses change on occasion, so you might want to look into signing up for the free DynDNS service at http://www.dyndns.com/

    The service allows you to select a hostname like "mycomputer.webhop.net", and the updater tool that you download from their site keeps DynDNS notified of your current IP address so the computer is always accessible by using the hostname.

    Hope I'm in the right ballpark with this response!
