How can I remote desktop not computer field of work.

I have an office with two computers (Windows 7 Pro) on the same router connected by a working group that I put in place so that they can share hard drives.

I am trying to use remote desktop to work at home (also Windows 7 Pro), but is not able to connect. I have the correct IP address for the desktop computer, and its settings are
"Allow Assistance connections to this computer remotely.
"Allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop" I want to change to the more secure option.

How can I implement the Office remote to work on the desktop computer at home?

Or,

Is their anyway I can have my computer at home join the task force at the office, I created?

Thank you

Please note that I can't use Teamviewer because if I'm not at the office, no one else will have.

No problem, I understand.  My use is personal, so I use the freebie version.  But for remote desktop, it is not too difficult, takes just several steps during the installation of the first, although it has a small caveat that your internet service provider could change your external IP address and you wouldn't be able to connect until you find what's news.  It's probably rare.  Even on my home connection, Cox Cable here almost never changes my IP address.  And with most Internet accounts business, the hard provider agrees to not change.

Here is the process.  It varies depending on your router (I use a Linksys router at a low price, but it is very similar).

  1. First, give the computer (desktop PC) connect a static IP address.
    This page explains how, in probably as more details you want :)
  2. Tell your router to forward incoming remote desktop connections to this internal IP.
    Log into your router and look for Port Forwarding or Port Range Forwarding.  It is usually easy to spot. Mine is below, and you can see entering 3389 connections (you can specify a range for RDP one is enough, so my range is just a single port) and transfer them to my address interne.104.  Click here to see a larger version of this image.

  3. Find out what are the external IP address of your office.
    In the settings of your router, or just ask Bing "what is my IP address?" , you can dig around your desktop computer.

That's all.  Later, when you want to connect to your desktop computer, you will use the external IP address of the internet connection of your office, and the router will forward this application on the computer that you want to achieve.

If you want to be able to connect to multiple computers, you can set another computer to use a different number of port instead of 3389 (official Microsoft here) and do the same steps to transfer 3390 to the other computer.  Later, when you want to connect to the other computer, type your IP as the IP: port, such as 11.11.11.11:3390 and it will connect to the other computer.
