You should also look into publishing TS on a port other than 3389.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\winstations\RDP-TCP

Edit the key Port Number to enable the port you wish to connect to.

If you change the port to be 45535 just type the following into your favourite TS client:192.168.1.1:45535

Rdesktop supports this from Beta 1.2 - any MS TS client will accept this format.

You may also wish to do a search at www.securityfocus.com and search for securely publishing Terminal Servers. There was an excellent article that covered most situations but I've mislaid the link. Options included encrypting the stream from custom port to custom port via zebedee which is a small encryption program.

Hope that helps your friend a little
