Re: FN-FORUM: Remote desktop problems

date posted 1st August 2007 15:43

I have done the exact thing to connect to my works network.

Basically I connect to the internet facing machine (in your case the
mail server). I connect via ssh using Putty.
With Putty you can setup port fowarding, so once i have connected to the
external machine, i can then remote desktop to any machine as long as I
have setup Putty with the correct IP address.

Google Putty Port Forwarding / remote desktop and you will get some good
tutorials back.
Email me if you get stuck.
