We have a couple of computers running Windows XP, mainly Home Edition. The
PCs are connected to a hub that connects to a router and to a DSL line.

I placed Windows XP Professional on one machine to access it remotely,
which
I can do by using port forwarding for the one port Windows XP uses.

I wanted to be able to access a couple of more machines remotely and
purchased Windows XP for them. When I went in to do port forwarding for
the
router, the router will only allow port forwarding for the one port
Windows
XP uses to one internal IP address.

Windows XP Professional is supposed to be a "business product". Most
businesses have more than one computer they would want to access.

Is there a work around?

We could get a server; but, that is more cost, more hardware and software
maintenance, more possible problems, etc.

Suggestions?
