Re: Client behind a firewall!

TP makes a good point. I'd be sure to get approval before using a service
like GoToMyPC, to avoid fallout with your employer. They may create a
firewall rule for you if they know why you're using it.

When I'm in control of corporate firewalls, I only open ports 80, 443, 25
(from the SMTP Server) and 53 (from the DNS Servers). Anything other than
that required a change request.

If yes, then I would ask them to modify ISA so that your
account has outbound 3389. If no, why try and bypass the
security they have put in place? At many companies I work
with what you are attempting to do is grounds for immediate
termination.

I use to leave my home computer (Windows XP Professional) connected to
Internet with Remote Desktop enabled when I'm at work, in order to be
able to connect to it.

Now I'm working in a place where Internet access is restricted by an
ISA Server proxy, which will only let HTTP traffic through; the
Remote Desktop client is blocked, and I just can't use it.

I tried setting up the Remote Desktop Web Connection, but it only
downloads the client software (as an ActiveX control) on the client
computer, which then originates the RDP connection to the specified
server... so the firewall will block this, too.

Is there any way I can connect to a Remote Desktop server when the
client is behind a firewall which only lets HTTP traffic pass?

I thought about configuring my computer to use port 80 for RDP, but
ISA is acting as a proxy there (configured in Internet Explorer
settings), so it will only let valid HTTP requests through.

Any solution available?

Thanks
