I have Zone Alarm on my XP Pro computer at home. I have set up Remote Desktop and have tried connecting to it from work. The first time, Zone Alarm blocked access to the computer. I had to manually add the IP address of my work computer to the trusted zone. Now Remote Desktop works.

At work I have a static IP address, so it isn't a problem. I would like to be able to use Remote Desktop from a friend's computer that has a dynamic address. Is there any way that I can make Zone Alarm allow any connection for Remote Desktop regardless of the IP Address?

Thanks,

Chris

Yes there is... you can either set your internet security to low or medium
and open port 3389 to incoming and outgoing.

PM me if you have any more question on that in you want.. mine is working.
