bb youre right you are basically setting up a webserver. and youre not stuck in 8bit 640x480 netmeeting land. You dont need to have the remote desktop service running either. Seems to be alot faster too. Rik thats what I did is just gave the IIS server the port that I want to connect too then forwarded that port thru the router to my workstation. As long as the client uses active x you can use the web connection. I just type in the browser http://phishtechzonez.no-ip.org:XXXXX/tsweb/ then it logs my pc out and goes to the log in screen. then on the host machine its black so now my kids can kick me off.
