I am attempting to set up a Remote Desktop Connection on my Windows 7 Ultimate version.
I am now successfully able to connect to my host computer from within an intranet connection using local routing numbers 192.168.1.1XX. However, when I attempt to connect to it using my WAN IP address, I am unable to connect.

I have followed the instructions on
PortForward.com for my router
(DIR-615 upgraded to latest firmware
available on DLink.com)
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DIR-615/Remote_Desktop.htm -
I have checked my port "open" status on http://canyouseeme.org/ and receive the following message when attempting to connect: Success: I can see your service on 24.205.5.29 on port (3389)
Your ISP is not blocking port 3389.
After all of this, I am unable to connect to my RDP using my WAN IP even though I can connecting using my intranet IP.
I am sitting behind a Motorola Surboard Cable Modem fed into a DLink DIR-615 router. According to canyouseeme.org, my port forward is active. How can I debug this issue?

Lastly, make sure you have set your internal IP address as a static address.
If this works for you, please come back and mark the question as answered.
