      Disable Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:
      It should not be enabled.

      Go to lan connections and right mouse click on connection2 and choose disable.

      The next issue is on Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
      remove the dns entries listed and replace with 192.168.1.4

      We always point the dns server to itself as should all the workstations should point to 192.168.1.4

      Do the workstations point to 192.168.1.4 now?

      Concerning rdp, you have to go into the router and forward port 3389 to 192.168.1.4
      Then from home to access you type in the wanipaddress:3389 in the rdp session to connect.
      If your wan interface is set to dhcp simply go to ipchicken.com to get your public ip address before going home. wan ip=public ip address

      The dns setting does assume this server is running dns server, has the forwarders configured and Active Directory.

      Answers are only as good as the information you provide.
