Remote Desktop onto desktop on VM problems

I am having trouble making a Remote Desktop connection onto the Desktop of a VM in Virtualbox on a Win 2012 server. I have 5 Win 7 VMs all with static IPs (192.168.1.101-192.168.1.106). I have a FreeDNS updater on each VM which reports the router external IP. I need to connect to each VM desktop from an external Microsoft Remote Desktop connection so in the router I created a new application for each of the 5 VM IPs and gave them port numbers 8100-8105 which I bound to the IPs. I thought is that I remote desk topped onto the FreeDNS address (the external IP of the router with the port number ( xxx.ddnsfree.com:8100), that the router would forward the port to the internal port and IP and let me connect. It is not working so I assume my logic is flawed. Any assistance would be great.
