You should first enable
Remote Desktop
to XP machine:- Right click the
My Computer
and clickProperties
- On the
Remote
tab there is a group box that includes a checkbox to enable or disable remote desktop and a button to select users which will have the accessing permission. - Read this window carefully. It says 'remote accessing user must have a password'
- If there is a firewall on that XP machine other than Windows Firewall, you should also create an Allow Rule to localhost on port
3389
(port number is by default) incoming. (I wouldn't know the firewall specs, if you have). If you're using Windows Firewall, then just enabling Remote Desktop on that window will create proper access rule.
Then you should make a port forwarding on your internet gateway at home, assuming it is basicly a common modem. Login to your modem's administration page and find the
NAT
configuration. There should be a group or a sub-menu about Port Forwarding
. After that type that port number 3389
to WAN TCP
and LAN TCP
editboxes (can't give you specifics, you have to determine what is what when you in there) and that XP machine's IP address to IP address involved editbox. That way you are saying your modem:
'Take all the TCP packets coming to my WAN IP address, port 3389, which is Remote Desktop application's port number and it uses TCP, then forward all those packets to my internal XP machine's 3389 port, which is RDP is listening.'
By doing those you actually set up two different listeners for RDP application, first one is your modem, which is now configured to forward what it listens and second one is the actual application on specific machine.

The best solution really depends on how you define 'access.' If you just need to be able to run programs remotely and view the screen, the free version of LogMeIn will probably fit the bill.
I have a need to be able to push and pull files and to print locally from remote in addition to remote control when I'm on the road (or in a random location without even my laptop), and I've used LogMeIn Pro for several years with great success. It's very economical and secure.

Step by step instructions:
Modem Bolt 4g Lte
1.
Go to Control Panel
>Network Connections
(In classic view).You should have two connections, one is your network card, the other your 3G modem.
Compatibility View Settings Windows Xp
At this point, you can run the Network Setup Wizard by choosing
Set up a home of small office network
. Internet Gateway is an option here:If you want to proceed manually without the wizard:
2.
Right click the connection that provides the internet connection and go to 'Properties'3.
Click the Advanced tab and tick Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection
.Adapter Settings Windows Xp
4.
... Profit? ... You may need a restart, but it should now work!If you are having problems, it is possible your 3G stick uses a third party (crippled) driver/dialler program. In this case, all I can suggest is to uninstall it and manually install the generic (Huawei (Most likely)) driver, and adding it as a modem, effectively bypassing the dialler program. You may need to do a search for your providers codes/dialling numbers.
