I need to give a user access to my webserver which lives in our DMZ, i.e not the same domain as the user. I intend to install Terminal services client on his machine but how do I configure it to see the webserver. I have a W2K network.

Thanks
Andy

i assume you have terminal services installed on the win2000 server acting as your web server? if not, you'll need to do that first.

as for the ts client, simply enter the ip address or domain name of the web server in the connect to: field. domain membership is not important, although the user will need a valid login on the server.

The usual purpose of a DMZ is to isolate a public-access server from the internal network. So, other than having Terminal Services installed in Application Mode, you need to make sure there is a route established between the internal network and the DMZ and that any intervening firewall will provide free passage to the Terminal Services packets.

There are, however, some security implications to doing that so you want to proceed somewhat carefully.
