WinXP Remote Desktop via the Internet

[leeym]

Is it possible to connect one WinXP box through the Internet to another within a corporate network via the Remote Desktop. If so, should I just enter the IP address of the host computer name along with the firewall port assigned to it (i.e. 100.100.100.100:81)? Is it that simple?

Also, are there designated firewall ports for Remote Desktop?

Thanks

Yes, it is - however, if the corporate network in question is firewalled, then it REALLY depends on whether they've got the machine in question NAT'd (I'd assume it is). In this case, you'd need specific port-forwarding rules on the firewall to make the connection pass through.
