    If youre connecting to a server...

      Yes, I believe so. Remote Desktop uses Port 3389.

                  assign the port forwarding 3389 to the internal ip of the pc you want to connect ... then hit windows+break ... system properties will then pop up... click remote tab ... and check the remote desktop "Allow users to connect....." check in your firewall if remote desktop is already added to exemptions.
