Well if you have that port forwarded and windows has remote desktop enabled, they could try and brute force the password out of your machine.

Always block that port unless you really relly need it.

If you really need it, set it to a different port number and then edit the registery on the machine that you will use RDP on to use that different port.

only nerds would understand that hopefully.

You don't need to modify the internal port. You can set up the external to be any port and set the router to forward the external port to the internal port.

Not all home spec routers support port redirection unfortunately, but if yours does this is a good tip to avoid being hacked as mentioned! That or do the reg trick as masda74 said. Also forgot to say RDP has to be enabled on the PC first as well :)

Next trick to try is replacing the PCs system files to support concurrent RDP sessions just like a full terminal server...this will avoid kicking off the physical user when you dial in (providing you use different accounts on the PC) and vice versa.

Just a file replace with an old Microsoft DLL, I'm not much of a hacker, just a googler.

My internet connection...
FFS it's ridiculous. Thing has been dropping out regularly every single night for months. (recently getting worse).

Guy comes in yesterday to test the lines etc... says there's no problem here, no problem at the exchange... ffs.

Apparently now they need to do a 'high level test'.
