Port 3389 is the only port you need to open. For VNC it would be 5900. Sound will attempt to be streamed through User Datagram Protocol (UDP) first. If no port is available for UDP, sound will stream through a virtual channel in Remote Desktop Protocol, which uses port 3389. See "Remote Desktop Web Connection" for more information at: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/columns/russel/02January14.asp Don't forget that XP has its own built in firewall that you will have to disable to get the whole thing running. To do this, in the Network Connections window, right-click the connection through which you will use Remote Desktop, and then click Properties. Click the Advanced tab, and then select the checkbox for Protect my computer and network by limiting or preventing access to this computer from the Internet. Click the Settings button. In the Services list, select the checkbox for Remote Desktop. (I think this last part is covered in the above link.) Regardless of whether you are going with a Remote Desktop Connection or VNC, I would recommend that you change the default port. Have you ever considered simply running your application remotely instead of printing over the Internet? I am sure you have. It was just a thought. You should also consider Julius' suggestion about using Windows 2000's Internet Printing Protocol. Of course it requires a Windows 2000 or XP server with IIS running which in itself can me a pain to manage not to mention the security issues. Additional information is available at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q248344. Again, keep in mind that XP will not support printing over the Internet. Alex and other sources have confirmed it.
