Allowing Remote Desktop Connection Through Firewall...

Greetings:

I recently purchased a new Win 8.1 PC with McAfee Internet Security pre-installed.

I need to access this PC remotely via Remote Desktop Connection and need to know how to configure the personal firewall to allow this access.

If it matters, I will be using a dynamic DNS updater service from dyn.com to manage access.

Any help with properly configuring the Personal Firewall to work with this setup would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks much in advance!

-GRB

I do not suppose any specific items are needed you may need to configure ports to do that.. Are you going to use any application to do that?(if you are going to use specific applications they usually connect via http and do not need specific options.
