Run a linux vm with ssh server on the win2003 server (you can use vmware-player for this) Forward port 22 from the router to the linux vm When you want to use remote desktop, use ssh to forward port 3389 to a port on the machine you are running the remote desktop client on. Direct the rdesktop client to connect to localhost Bam. you're in John La Rooy Alternatively - perhaps there is an ssh server that runs on windows that handle the port forward which would simplify things -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
