You need TCP Port 80 (IIS) and TCP Port 3389 (RDP) open on any firewall the
remote PC is behind. Call from a remote location using the public IP of the

accounts. Make sure you test over the local LAN first from another PC on the
same LAN. In that case use the LAN IP of the PC your trying to connect to...
