Remote desktop port forwarding on a Netgear 834GT How???

[Matrix]

I'm trying to connect to a server via Remote desktop computer software in windows.

But when i try i get a message saying i can't i have been told i need to open up port 3889 in my router.

I really don't know how to do this and I'm hoping someone can help me out please?

I have a netgear 834GT from sky and windows XP.


I really need to get this working if anyone can help me please.
