Dear experts,
I have to connect to a remote machine which sits behind a firewall and is
not accessible from outside because of NAT - just imagine you have to
provide some kind of support for a customer machine which is connected to
the internet with a DSL router.
In this case the customer machine would be server and I would peek into this
machine using RDC from outside.
Is it possible that the customer (i.e. the remote desktop server) initiates
the remote desktop connection? The protocol uses only one well-known TCP
port, so this could be possible. However, I have not seen any option I could
set in the Remote desktop connection client software to accept such calls.
regards
Mike
