We are using a Cisco VPN concentrator for our remote clients. The chat
works fine, but application sharing does not. From my reading, it appeared
that all communications was between the clients and the server on tcp port
80, and that the clients never communicated directly. This being the case,
I should not see this problem. What am i misssing?

The other odd thing that I am seeing is that the adding a new contact hangs
for a time if you are attached through the VPN, but it does eventually work.
Once thet VPN is up, the client machines should be able to connect to the AD
servers, as well as the mail server, so I am also not clear on what might
cause this problem.
 
Greetings David,

Actually, Application Sharing requires a direct connection between the two contacts, using
port 1503.

If it is TCP port 1503, it should be available.
I am allowing all IP traffic, and rdp does work.
