How do I do this? "For Remote assistance to work, port 3389 must be forwarded on that router to the target computer's internal IP address."

Thanks!!!!!

Same question - used wrong email address last time.

How do I do this per above: "For Remote assistance to work, port 3389 must be forwarded on that router to the target computer's internal IP address."

Thanks!!!

That depends entirely on the router or firewall you're using. You'll have to check the documentation for that.

Can use use dos commands to tell router port 3389 must be forwarded?

No. Since exactly how varies from router to router, you'll need to use whatever interface your router has to tell it to do that.

which ip, my friend's or my own, do i forward the port to?

can you install remote assistance on windowsME

If you mean Windows XP remote assistance, no, it's not available for Windows ME. The closest alternative would be a remote access program such as pcAnywhere.
