I have a windows server 2008 machine sitting at a host company. The dns server is 64.135.1.20. I set that in the "Preferred DNS server" section when following the below instructions. I set the Default gateway to my gateway ip. I set the Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. And I set the static ip to 172.27.12.136.

When I try to use remote desktop, it asks me for the ip address of the remote machine, but since it is connected through a gateway, how do I exactly connect to that machine?
If 172.27.12.136 is a public address (accessible from the Internet), then that's what you'd use. If you head to "whatsmyip.org" or alike from that machine, what IP is reported as yours? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-04-08T17:53:33.547
WHen you say a public address, you mean connected to a public switch? – JohnMerlino – 2014-04-08T18:35:48.880
