Post #188,935 by Andrew Grygus 1/3/05 10:58:49 PM Reply	Terminal services An accounting software company asked me to enable Terminal Services on the server of one of my clients. The person who asked doesn't know much about it. I enabled Terminal Services through control panel and it looks like I have to forward port 3389 thorugh the firewall, but is there more I need to do? I'd rather get this done wihout having to do extensive research on a whole new category of Microsoft software if I can. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
