remote desktop only works if the computers are on the same network. It will not work over the internet.

wrong, i think you have a NAT in the way and the method of getting around this is like so.


your default gateway:your ip address:you friends ip address:his machine ip address

(i.e. 192.168.1.1:82.248.24.7:62.47.2.147:192.168.1.101)

you have to tell your NAT and his NAT actual how to get there specificly
