I am pretty sure all remote assistance does is send an e-mail or IM
through MSN messenger( you pick) to the person you are requesting
assistance from, so it seems you would not need anything for remote
assistance..the response to that invitation is using remote
desktop(3389)...although its been awhile since I played with it.

Sorry about the other email. Remote Assistance is what I am asking
about. Not Remote Desktop.

First off, Remote Assistance is not Remote Desktop. I have not actually
tried it, but I believe that Remote Assistance is just w way to invite
someone to connect to your session to help you.
Assuming that you are really talking about Remote Desktop, simply open
up port 3389 on the firewall, and point traffic to the internal IP of
the machine that you want to connect to with RDP.

How can you setup a firewall whether it be a hardware or software
firewall to allow Remote Assistance in XP (Remote Desktop) traffic to
come through? Is it simply a matter of just allowing the traffic from a
certain port to come through or are there other steps that need to be
taken along with this to ensure that the person connecting remotely will
be able to get through?
