In conjunction to ek's message, you need your external IP address to connect from the outside source to the internal destination. You need to forward the correct ports through your NAT configuration so that the correct ports are mapped to the correct internal IP address. pcAnywhere can broadcast but you need to connect on a broadcast address. Every network has a broadcast address. For instance, If I am running a pcAnywhere client on 192.168.1.100 (subnet of 255.255.255.0) and 192.168.1.101 (subnet 255.255.255.0), from a PC associated with an IP of 192.168.1.105 with the same subnet, on the same network I can connect to 192.168.1.254 and both clients will show up ready for me to choose which to connect to. It will only broadcast though if you choose the broadcast address of the network address. This is the second to last address of the network or subnetwork.
But you are trying to use Remote Desktop right? Do you have the ICF disabled for XP?
