I have setup a web server running win2k3 and was curious about remotely accessing it with an XP box. Only one requirement, it has to be FREE. =20 Here is what I have setup and as of now working but I would like in the end to only run one. 1. RRAS using PPTP. It's not a DC so I use local accounts. 2. VNC. TiteVNC to be specific. 3. Remote Desktop - went into the admin tools and set the encryption level to high. Please no crazy setups like upgrade to DC and run IAS for Radius or running IPSEC tunnels, just would like peoples thoughts on the security level of each of these programs and what they feel are the most secure. If you can get specific about encryption, keys, key lengths, that would be great. Thanks
