Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services and NTL broadband

[tfboy]

Hello all.

I'm in this scenario. I have recently setup a system for a client using Windows server 2003 and a bunch of workstations.

They are all behind a NAT ADSL firewall / router.

Now I'm thinking about enabling TS so that I can remote desktop in over the web to perform admin stuff.

Reading up about TS, MS say it all runs on port 3389.

So I have two questions:

1) Is port 3389 the only port I need to enable for forwarding to the server ?
2) Does NTL (my broadband service provider) block port 3389 as it's a "security" issue ? If they do, then I'll have to think of some other way of connecting (VNC, other suggestions?)

Thanks

RDP does run on TCP3389 - its the only port you need to be forwarded from your router to the server.

I'm pretty sure NTL dont block 3389 so you shoudl be ok .
