Yes, exactly!! Thanks Dan for pointing that out. A very important element that I omitted. Shame on me. Also, if you're router/firewall won't allow you redirect from one port (external) to another (internal), like in Dan's example, the next best thing is to change the listening point in the 'server' software. VNC and many other remote administration program will allow this change from within their configuration. Windows Remote Desktop Connection doesn't allow you to make the change through the GUI, but there is a registry change that'll work. Seems like one can't mention Windows without also mentioning the sacred registry. Thanks again, Dan.
