It ain't my company. And I'm not certain that I'll be able to get them to open things up a bit to allow me to remote control into a laptop on their network. This is why I've been asked to find something that doesn't require firewall changes to work. In my thinking though, I have to punch a hole somewhere in order to have incoming communications.
