If you're smart, you have a router with at least a NAT firewall between your computer and the public Internet. A typical scenario is something like this:

Router WAN IP: 71.189.113.60
Router LAN IP: 192.168.1.1
Most consumer broadband routers assign LAN IPs via DHCP starting at .100, so your PC probably has an IP address of 192.168.1.100

By default, your router is doing its job and blocking all incoming traffic. What you need to do is:

1. Change your PC to use a static IP address outside the router's DHCP scope e.g. 192.168.1.10. You will also have to set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, gateway to 192.168.1.1 and the DNS servers to whatever they are now (check in a CMD window with ipconfig /all).

You need to change your PC to a static IP because if it changes, the router config (below) will no longer be able to find your PC.

2. Reconfigure your router to forward incoming traffic on port 3389 to the new static IP address of your PC. Typically this is done by logging in to your router's Web admin page - usually something like http://192.168.1.1 . Check your router documentation - this is usually in an "Advanced" section under "Port Forwarding".

3. CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT: set up strong password(s) on all the accounts on your PC ( http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/password/create.mspx ). If you open a common port to the public Internet, crackers with port scanners will quickly find your PC and start trying to crack its accounts. One strategy to reduce the risk of doing this is to change the default listening port for RDP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306759 . Of course, if you do this, change the port you forward in your router config as well. You will also have to remember to tell your remote client to use the non-standard port as well (link at the bottom of the previous reference).

Also be sure your machine is fully up-to-date with patches and has an up-to-date AV app in place.
