I try to set up my remote desktop configuring port forwarding, but it not working. Could some one help? This is my set up below on the router:
Local host: IP of the machine I'm connecting to
Protocol: TCP3389->3389
Forwarding Port: Same as Incoming Port
Schedules: Always

The configuration is correct except that as I said before it has to say
TCPAny -> 3389 or whatever other port you choose - note its says ANY on the left hand side of the ->
As everybody else is telling you, be aware of the TOS that you agreed to. I would believe it's more directed at running a p2p server, web server etc rather than a single user private connection to your personal desktop machine but that is up to you to interpret.

Should be TCPAny->3389
I would suggest that to make hacking attempts a little harder that you don't use the standard port of 3389.
This link describes how to change the RDP listening port

You would then access the machine by mstsc routeraddr:newport

There is something that I have quote.
Quick quote from http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Create-incoming-VPN-with-Westell-A90-9100EM15-10/td-p/251...
Now, before I get in trouble with the "Terms of Service" gods, just let me say that running a "server" on a residential connection is not permitted per your terms of service. So if that's your intent, I would urge you to review your requirements and/or consider a business class of service.
I would urge you to check out LogMeIn's Hamachi product. They have a free version for non-commercial use which allows you to quickly and easily build a private network of up to 16 devices and a pay version which can do many more. It's handy for those gaming sessions which require all the computers to be on the same "network" in order to find each other and function. It's a cloud based VPN service, so there is no "server" component on your end which should keep you clear of any "terms of service" trolls.

It start working after I change it to any->3389. After I change the port, it stop working even if I change my registry back to 3389. Would you know what is happening?

If you change the listening port in the registry you need to change the port forwarding rule to the new port.
Another method would be to leavr the listening port at 3389 and change the rule your chosen port like
TCPany -> 9999
and change the forward to port from Same as Incoming Port to 3389
Basically accomplishes the same thing a changing the registry but will still allow you to rdp to the machine internally without having to use the non-standard port number.
You may have to restart the server after changing the port number in the registry.
