MessageI think this would still require port forwarding on the firewall??
Matt, if you can remotely administer your firewalls, you could open the port
up just long enough for you to connect, then shut it back down. Or if you
are connecting from a single fixed IP address, open it only from that IP.

BTW: We install Tight VNC on the users side and having start as a service.
Then we use what is called Ultra to control the pcs.

My company is using Citrix more and more from remote locations.
Unfortunately I'm tending to run into PC OS problems more often then not and
talking the users through the simplest tasks in some cases is very painful.
Does anyone know of a web based remote control program what will work
without any firewall configuration and allow me to easily remote control
remote PCs? I would think it needs to be HTTP based so I can easily traverse
firewalls. Citrix has "go to my PC" but it is expensive.I need something
cheaper.
Most of the PCs are XP and have RDP but that would require me to setup
port forwarding on the firewalls and I don't want to do that.
Any suggestions?
