Remote Web desktop access

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

If you are trying to use the web interface to connect to machines not
otherwise accessible to the internet - you will have no success.

You must supply the public IP address for the machines you want to
connect.

If you want to connect to other machines on your private network, you
will either have to forward additional ports in your firewall/router,
or set up a VPN.
