RDC works on LAN, not from home via Internet-Please help!!

As far as I can tell the XP box is configured correctly. It is hooked
up to a Linksys Switch. My iBook, when hooked into the LAN via the
same Switch will run RDC fine. When I try it from home, I get the
message "try again later, network conditions, etc". I assume it is the
Switch that is causing the "problems". What should I do to get this to
work from home?

The XP box, according to Network Connections is:
Local Area Connection
Enabled,Bridged

The Network Bridge is:
Enabled
MAC Bridge Miniport

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Much...

Do you have the proper port (3389) forwarded from your router to your XP
machine?
