Which protocols and/or ports have to be allowed to have
Remote Desktop working? Firewall now blocks it (I guess),
but turning the firewall of seems not a good idea :-(

Thanks in advance,

That's all? Or do I have to give some users special rights
etc.? When I try to connect to the PC itself (client and
server same machine) It tells it allready has a connection
to that desktop, so I asume the server part is correct.
But I can't seem to find any userconfiguration as I used
to have in pcAnywhere... How does XP now it's me, and not
someone else?

Thanks! I'll try to figure it all out, need some time for
that first. Zonelabs now upgraded to pro, so seperate
ports and or protocols can be allowed, now for the users :-
