Remote Desktop Through Firewall 1

[WANguy2k]

I have several remote locations I wish to manage using remote desktop. They are using the internet to connect to our internal network (Citrix). We have a natting firewall here and the wireless router on the other side is also natting. Is there a way to connect to the remote machines through the firewalls using the remote desktop included with Windows XP? Obviously the remote machines have non-routable addresses I cannot connect to over the internet.

Port forwarding(ensure you open up these ports on the firewall), then assign different ports to each machine you wish to connect to (in the rdp connection you would have "connect to" machine1:389, machine2:390, etc., etc.)

Thanks, guys. That's just what I needed. (Better than paying GoToMyPC monthly!)

Bill,
You have all the good links!!!! That's kind of what I wanted to say, but having another site show you exactly how is even better.

I just like Al Jarvi, author of the link above. So I read his stuff.
