Default Remote Desktop Question


I running three XP Pro computers on a LAN. Remote Desktop works great within
the LAN but not externally.

Shouldn't I be able to access these computers using "My IP address":3389?
Remote Desktop cannot find the address plus I cannot ping it.

I am port forwarding 3389 in my router but since each PC has a different
internal address do I have to forward 3389 to each address? I'm also
checking Remote Desktop on in the Windows Firewall.

Suggestions greatly appreciated.

PS - I'm not a network wiz
