You would at least want to enable the user/password feature. As I typed earlier, you would do better to enable remote access to your WHS and install a notifier on each end. That way, you would always be able to access the settings of the webUI to get to the list of allowed addresses. This way, you would also be able to completely disable remote access by remotely using the web browser on your WHS machine to change the router settings. Note that the "default" port for RDP is 3389. When you make your router rule, you can 'redirect' that: For example direct port 5557 <any "wild" number will do> to port 3389 on your WHS. This will keep people who snoop your address on port 3389 from getting a "logon" from RDP. Then on the remote machine, you direct RDP to connect to xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa:5557 Your router follows the rule and sends the traffic to your WHS and you're in. SSH <google putty for the windows version> would be more secure but you will still have to know the addresses... P -- pski real stereo doesn't just wake the neighbors, it -enrages- them..
