Well you know how you can use remote desktop on a network. You just
type in the computer name and login. But you can also type in an IP
address when you are not on that network.
Yes, if someone has opened up remote desktop through the firewall/router.
Does the same apply for
shared folders?
It can be, yes....
If it did that would be awesome.
No, it would actually be the equivalent of running with scissors.You don't
want to open up file/printer sharing access from outside your network unless
it's via a VPN (virtual private networking) connection.
Also, if this is
possible, what (if any) ports would I need to forward on my router?
TCP 139, if you really want to get hacked.
(One thing about me: When I post questions, I want answers, not
alternatives. So don't tell me to use the "publish this to the web"
thing or IIS or anything.)
Cool. One thing about me - when I volunteer my own time to answer people's
requests for free tech support in public newsgroups, I give them the best
and most appropriate answers I can....which may not always what they want to
hear. They're free to take the advice or leave it, as long as they do so
politely.
I'm sure you can't have intented your post to read as a demand, but
I suggest you tone it down a bit if you want people to help you. :)
