Enable Remote Desktop connection

[varunb]

Well I have been using airtel 699 unlimited plan & i was thinking of enabling remote connection on my computer. I have done almost everyhting to enable it on my pc but no luck. I have forwarded the default port(3389) in my router & also checked 'Remote Desktop' in firewall. I have also checked 'Allow users to connect remotely to this computer' option in 'My Computer' properties. Then, I even asked my friend to access my pc but he says that everytime this same error flashes: "The computer can't connect to the remote computer". I have also checked if the required services(RUN->services.msc) are enabled.Can someone help me please ??Is it something to do with my primary & secondary DNS server cos i am using OpenDNS instead of the Airtel ones.

Well I gave my IP address to my frnd for pinging. There's 1 more thing that i forgot to mention: I can connect to remote computers. Its just dat other people can't connect to my computer.
