You need to forward a port from your router to your desktop's ip.
For example, if your desktop's ip address is 192.168.1.101 then you need to forward a port of your choice (let's say 5678 as an example) to port 3389 on 196.168.1.101
so it'd be something like this, depending on your router's configuration
External Port IP Address Internal Port
5678 192.168.1.101 3389
Then when you want to connect from outside the network you point to your RDP client to [your public ip]:5678
Or just install TeamViewer

yeah teamviewer is easier, but I would like to use the built in remote desktop application. Can you give me the proper sets to do all this?

I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.

In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol
