SBS 2003 and Remote Desktop

I am at a loss... I have an SBS 2003 server. Our ISP is Time Warner Roadrunner. We have a DI-604 router by D-Link. I am trying to use Windows XP Remote Desktop to connect to a computer on the domain. So far to no avail. I tried forwarding the port on the router (3389) to the IP address of the computer I am trying to connect to (192.168.0.105). I then try to use Remote Desktop from an outside PC to connect. I have tried the WAN IP address (on the router) and the DNS IP address (also Router). Cannot connect.

So then I tried creating a VPN connection via the SBS 2003 server. I then loaded the disk setup that it created for me to use. I get an error 800 (which I researched and it said the router firmware needed to be updated). I then updated the router firmware. Still get an error 800.

Then I tried a trial software edition of mypctogo.com. I installed it on the PC I am trying to connect to remotely. I then was able to access it remotely. What is the secret? What can it do that I am not? I would prefer to use RD since its FREE! Free is good! :) I would appreciate any assistance in this matter.
 
with this level of information it is hard to tell what the issue is. And to create an exhaustive list of options would take too long. RD often has issues. Try realvnc it's free and i great. it all i ever use, and it works cross platform
