Terminal Services over Internet

[Lukey]

I am running a Win2k server with terminal services. I need to be able to make my terminal services connection available to a user over the net, so that he can use an application that I am running. I have seen quite a few articles about this 'working', but am unable to find much on setting it up and whether I need licenses....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You will need the TS Advanced client, available for download at "

http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWS2000/downloads/recommended/TSAC/tsac.asp".

Install it on an IIS Webserver (4 or higher), add the server's URL to "trusted sites" on the client side and visit the sample webpage in ..\tsweb. You will receive a login page that will connect you to your Terminal Server.

As for licensing, the same rules apply as with ordinary clients.

Hope this helped..

Thanks for the help and your swift answer. It may help if I elaborate a bit. I am currently testing to see the feasability of running a program that I am developing over a terminal services connection. As I am testing at the moment, I only have a dial-up line to the net. Is there any way that I can dial-up the net from the server, find out my allocated IP address and then get someone to connect to Terminal Services on my machine ?
Many thanks

It should. As long as you're running TS as an application server, not administrative. After dialing in, find out what IP you've been assigned, then have the remote user connect using the TS client, (don't need advanced client) which you can download from microsoft's web site. It fits on two floppies. The user will eventually need a license (s/he will get a temporary one - i think it lasts 90 days) unless s/he is running W2K Pro, in which case the TS client license is built in with the OS license. You'd also eventually have to purchase a W2K Server TS license, which from what i remember are pretty pricey.

It worked a treat.
Thanks for all your help...
