Hi Al.
No I didn't. Is this port number the port remote connection uses and looks
for? Is it the same on different computers? (a Microsoft default?) I have
followed the basic MS KB articles on turning remote connect on on the client
and then configuring the remote to look for it. Is there a KB on anything
related to the open Port needed?
Thanks much.
