I'd like to remotely connect to my work PC from home. This is allowed and done by other employees, so no problem there.
All my attempts have failed so far. It just won't find the PC to connect to. I enter the external IP address of my work PC into Remove Desktop Connection (though I've also tried RealVNC and TightVNC) and I get "cannot find host" errors.
I feel like I'm missing a puzzle piece here or something.
I have "Allow remote connections to this computer" selected in System Properties on both PC's.
At home I'm running Win7 Ultimate and at work I have Win8 Enterprise.
Why haven't I asked my coworkers for help?
Because in the first couple of weeks a coworkers asked if I know how to remote desktop and I said yes (I have done it before) but hey turns out nope! It's awkward. And I realize I was dumb.

You should be able to ask IT about it if you have an IT department.
So once I do that, where do I theoretically go from there?
@grouch993, doesn't TeamViewer require someone to be on the other end to accept the request?

Teamviewer doesn't necessarily need it if you pay for the right version and set it up to not need permission.
