I've used Remote Desktop Connect with previous routers, but I cannot fathom the settings on the Philips CGA5722 to allow this.

Can anyone help please?

I have 3 PCs on my LAN, fixed external IP. I want to be able to connect to the LAN PC with internal IP of 192.168.2.107, so that when I enter my external IP address into an external RDC app my router sees port 3389 and routes it to '107.

Grateful for any help,

Regards

Many thanks for that. Wish I'd asked here sooner!

Had a quick look at one of our stock ones, looks pretty straightforward once you find the option, although the option is buried a bit.

You need to go to Advanced Settings then to Nat, then select Virtual Server, from here put in the internal ip address ie 206 and the external and internal ports 3389 as standard (though as extra security might be a good idea to use a non standard port on the wan side and specify this in the remotedesktop connection window).
