Connecting to a remote computer via the internet. The host computer does not have a router only a cable modem

[Seak, Teng-Fong]

	If your remote PC isn't behind any router, you shouldn't worry about the problem of port.  It should have a public IP address, right?

	However, since it's XP Pro, there's an integrated firewall.  You have to configure it to let through port 5900 if you intend to use this firewall.
