There are some MS instructions regarding firewall configuration
for the purpose of running win xp remote assistance.
MS states only the port 3389 shall be opened.
But more details on that filter rule are missing.


Are you referring to Windows Firewall, another software firewall, or a
hardware firewall (e.g. in your router)?
on both PC's runs the Kerio Personal Firewall - software, no routers
present on both sites, not proxy servers or similar, no LANs, etc.
Both PC's connected to internet only through ADSL-Modem, these are using
windows xp dial-up connections, and the Kerio PFW firewalls.


I've never used Kerio, so I really couldn't tell you how to configure it. I
honestly think the easiest solution would be to check the Kerio forums. I
would just about guarantee that other people have had to deal with this
issue. Here's the address of a good forum:

Hope this helps.
