The Problem: You use Clear Wireless (ClearWire) for your internet service and you cannot set up Remote Desktop on Windows 7.
The Cause: Whereas most internet provider provided devices just function as gateways, the Clear device functions as both a router and a gateway rolled into one unit. It also uses a different subnet. You also have to use a separate router with the Clear device if you have more than one computer (what fun).
The Solution: Just point all relevant traffic from the Clear device to your normal router, and set up your computer normally from there.

How do you “point all relevant traffic to the router?”
Please elaborate.
