I have a computer which is connected to the internet via 2 different routers...see below.
Cable Modem - LinkSys Router (1) - Time Capsule (2) - Computer

I use to be able to use Remote Desktop to see the computer, but since i put on the 2nd router (Time Capsule)....I'm not sure how to connect to it.

Is there a special IP address i'm suppose to use or anything else that i would need to know?
Has anyone does this before?

Follow the directions to use Time Capsule as a bridge (NAT/DHCP off).

Isn't there an IP address where at the end of it you are suppose to type " :XXXX "
so it would read xxx.xxx.xxxx:xxxx

?

Follow the directions to use Time Capsule as a bridge, rather than as a router, and everything should work exactly as before.

No what you're thinking of is the Port number - which could work if you feel like pulling all your hair out (with two routers that is). You should really do as the others have suggested and use the TC in bridge mode.

This has become more about networking. Moving it there.
