Thanks, I'll give this some thought! Mark

The part that is unclear is how you can connect to Joe at all if your SOHO box doesn't allow port-forwarding. My guess is that the SOHO has put Joe into the "DMZ", meaning it forwards all ports, by default, to Joe. Not very secure, but I'm sure it works. Here are some ideas to get things working better: 1. Install an SSH server on Joe, and SSH clients on Mary and Martha. You can then use SSH to setup a "reverse tunnel", so that port 5901 on Joe actually connects to Mary, and 5902 connects to Martha, etc. 2. You can VNC to Joe, and then from Joe open a VNC Viewer and connect to Mary or Martha. 3. You can replace your SOHO box with a $30 LinkSys box that handles this much more nicely. 4. You can install Kaboodle on Joe, and then setup a "personal VPN" connection to Joe from anywhere on the Internet. Once connected, you can connect to Mary or Martha (Kaboodle uses Zebedee to act like a connection-forwarding service). Hope one of these helps! -Scott > Ok, let's hope this is clearer: > > I have a Windows2k Network with a single fileserver. Let's call it > "Joe".
