[NTLUG:Discuss] Remote Desktop Connection

[David Wilson]

Thanks everyone for their help.  Here is what I ended
up doing to solve this little issue.

I set up OpenVpn on the internal and external machine.
 I can connect via port 443.  When connected I can
open up a rdesktop or Vnc window.

Thanks

David
