I do know very well how to configure Remote Desktop Connection in Windows. I tested the same many a times on my local network to access my server remotely through the client’s and the same works very well.

However, I am confused about the following issue. My Machine’s External IP is set to 10.40.1.11 on the Network Connection that connects to the Internet. When I visit any site which is supposed to tell me what my IP Address is, it shows an entirely different IP address and not 10.40.1.11. After much research I found out that the IP Address that those sites are telling me are those of my ISP’s (Internet Service Providers). I am therefore confused what is going to happen if I do not try to access Remote Desktop Connection from my internal client’s but try to access my server – 10.40.1.11 from some other computer connected to the internet and does not belong to my network. Will that computer be able to locate my static IP Address: 10.40.1.11 or will it never find it because my ISP is perhaps masking my static IP with their own server Global IP Addresses.

I am the CEO to an Indian Software Development Company called http://www.esystemsengineers.com and any help from you regarding this issue will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Vivek
