Hi everyone, It seems that every book I buy never seems to resolve my problems, or my problems never quite fit the issues that are explained within those books, thank heaven for Isa.org and also exchange.org, and I feel a mention for EventId.net is worth a mention. Thanks to all for previous help which has resolved problems for me and thanks in anticipation to my following question. I have been subscribed for a while now and I have noted the help offered freely by some very serious professional people, how some of you find the time within your busy lifestyles I don't know, but I'm sure I speak for the majority it is appreciated!. Anyway my problem is:- I use Small Business server 2000 and I have set up TS on the local domain (SBS 2000 Server Machine), and all works well from any workstation, I have full remote control. I very much need to be able to log on to various clients of mine over the Internet, who are also running SBS 2000 (machines that I have setup and administer on a regular basis). Can anyone point me to a step by step guide on how to achieve this through Terminal Services? or advise if this is the wrong approach. Whenever I try to remotely Administer one of my clients SBS boxes by entering thier fixed IP address, I get the reply "the client could not connect to the Terminal Server. The Server may be too busy. Please try connecting later." Any help much appreciated. Best regards, Rick Parsons
