Terminal server, router, firewall and security

[comtutor]

In using W2K Adv. server , cisco router and a firewall, what ports, do I need open to run Terminal services via the internet, while maintaining security? Any insights would be appreciated, for setting this up with tight security.

First of all, you should consider using a VPN solution to ensure tight security
Anyway, the Win2K terminal server runs on TCP port 3389

Make sure you lock down the terminal server session (you can hide drives, deny access to local drivers, restrict access to the registry, ..., those are just plain registry settings !)

Good luck
