The best option to me was a reverse SSH. A script connect them automatically to my server @home, opening a specific port so I can connect to their computers. It works, it's simple, they don't have to do anything, they even can go anywhere I'll still be able to help them. You don't have to worry about NAT and dynamic IP addresses anymore. :-) -- Philippe Pittoli Doctorant en réseaux informatiques, ICube Strasbourg Fondateur d'Alsace Réseau Neutre https://www.arn-fai.net
