4- Go to your router's management page and forward remote desktop port to your computer's new static ip See here

5 - Enambe remote desktop on your pc See here

6 - Start Rdesktop 1.7 package on your N900 and type your computers internet ip you can get it from a site like whatismyip.org

For easy use see if your router supports http://www.dyndns.com/ . If it does just open a free account and you won't need to remember your pc's ip all the time
Thank you very much! Following these steps worked perfectly. It's nice to be able to run lengthy Matlab scripts all day when not home

I have Windows 7, so by doing step 5 there was no need for step 2. Also, I found that when connecting to my domain registered on dyndns.com, entering "http://[yourdomain]" for the server in rdesktop does not work. Without the "http://", it does. Maybe because with the http:// it tries to use port 80 or something?

Anyways, people looking to use rdesktop+Windows on the N900 should try these steps.
