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.
