hi,
I am trying to access from my work PC through RDP to connect my Macebook Pro at home.
I also setup the port on my router as 5590(TCP), 3283(TCP/UDP), 5988(TCP) on my verizon router. And I added my IP address to it but still not able to login to my Mac.
Any suggestions..?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)
Perhaps it's a typo but 5590 is not the right port. It should be 5900.
Port 5988 is not a port ARD really needs anymore but if you want to open it go for it as it's your router and you can do what you like!
I think you're going to have to speak to someone (your workplace's IT department is favourite) at work as more than likely you're being blocked by your company's firewall. Most company's of my experience will do this for VNC and VPN connectivity as a matter of course and the only time this kind of traffic is allowed is if it's been approved first.
Did you try to get approval before trying?
Note that Microsoft's RDP, if that's what you're referring to, will not allow you to connect from a Windows system to take control of a Mac. From a Windows system you'd need to use a VNC client or a third-party solution such as LogMeIn or TeamViewer.

RDP is a Microsoft product and will not allow remote access to a mac
