Is it possible to set up several Remote Desktop hosts (each running XP Pro)
on one network which will be accessed through multiple router ports (ie;
3389, 3390, etc.) which will then be directed to the appropriate PCs on the
network? This would allow several workers to access their office PCs while
they are away from the office. I have found no reference to this in any
literature. Thanks!
If possible, are there any tricks I need to know to utilize this?
If not, are there any third party solutions that would allow this to work
(cheap?)?
-- Thanks again!

Here is a short how-to...

A better solution, and one that I use, is to setup either a VPN or Secure
Shell (SSH) tunnel so you can access multiple PCs through only one hole in
your router/firewall. Personally I use SSH. Here are some SSH links you may
find helpful...

Al..

I'm trying to locate a solution for setting up an XP thin client server.
I am trying to determine how to set up the XP os for people to term serv
into, on a scale of about 50-60 users.
We have legacy equipment, and are trying to come up with a reasonable
solution.
Any info you may have would be greatly appreciated!
Mike
