Remote Desktop

I just set up remote desktop on my pc. I enabled port forwarding @port 3389 and pointed it to the ip of a virtual pc running win7 ultimate.

I then connected to a neighbours wireless to see if I could access my pc externally, and it worked.

Problem is, I have gone back into my router settings and deleted the port forwarding entry I made, and saved all changes. I'm no in a mates house and I can still remore in to my PC from here. Why is this!? Do I have to power cycle the router in order for it to forget the port forwarding entry I made? Thanks

Port is still open on the PC firewall..

Wouldn't matter, once the router stops forwarding the port, what the firewall does is immaterial.

What router is it? Have you tried power-cycling it yet?
