DI-624: Remote Desktop

I think I've configured my DI-624 running firmware version 2.70 to
support XP remote desktop.

I went into advanced: Enabled (Virtual Server)
Private IP: I used the WAN IP address given under Status
(this is the same address I got from: myipaddress.com)
Protocol: Both
Private Port: 3389
Public Port: 3389
Schedule: Always

However, whenever I try to connect I get the "The client could not
connect to the remote computer"

Yes, XP is configured for Remote Connection and it does work because I
can remotely connect as long as I stay within my LAN, i.e. I can do a
remote connect to 192.168.....

but cannot when I go to the WAN IP address. I've tried pinging the
wan ip address and that's fine.

Suggestions?

No, that should be the private IP address assigned to your XP wireless client,
as displayed in Network Connections. You'll want to make this a static
(unchanging) address in the DI-624 DHCP server or assigned manually.
