Hi Deeps,

Try to leave both Windows 7 machines on the standard 3398 port and create another port on the router like 3390 and point that to port 3389 on the second Windows PC. I haven't worked on that model of Netgear but they usually have good port forward features.

But Win7 Home Basic doesn't have Remote Desktop Server to connect to,irrespective of the port Issue

Correct, use Teamviewer install on all PC's setup an account and you will be to access all your machine from anywhere using either their client or their web interface. It's awesome.... No need to open ports etc etc.

Perfect for the occasional remote work or helping someone quickly

thanks guys will try it
Teamviewer is what im using and does not do remote printing.
Version 8 beta does which makes life much easier

Teamviewer will be easiest to use.

No need to forward ports etc.

main reason was for printing
Now that teamviewer has remote printing im sorted

Thank you so much for the advise

"What you are exactly trying to achieve? Remote Connection between Office and home computer or Remote connection between two home computers? If between Office and home, try using various remote support services such as gosupportnow, logmeinrescue, GoToMyPC and check whether you are able to establish remote connection.

If between two home computers through same router and on same network, you can use Microsoft RDP tool to establish remote connection.
