Right now I am experimenting with Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server 3.0. I can't do much with it unless I get my NAT firewall configured just right so it will allow connections from the outside world. I've got the web interface set up on port 81 and configured my NAT firewall to allow connections to port 1494 from the outside, but I still get errors at the connection in progress dialog like "There is no Citrix MetaFrame server configured on the specified address." I think that citrix depends on the RDP port since it's an extension of the terminal server. I've been told that it doesn't depend on that port. Please help me out with this one I've been working on it since 1 O'clock in the afternoon. I would love to get this working so I could show this off at school.
Here's the text from my Valueadd\3rdparty\mgmt\Citrix\html file:

Citrix Systems, Inc. is the world leader in server-based computing. Our MetaFrame™ and WinFrame™ software, based on our ICA® and MultiWin™ technologies, provides access to virtually any application, across any type of network connection from any type of client -- providing rapid application deployment and cost-effective solutions to maximize return on computing investments.
The ICA Client included on this compact disc lets you use any computer running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP to run applications remotely on a server on which Citrix MetaFrame is installed, or on a Citrix WinFrame server.

O.k. I figured part of the problem out. At my house we only have one IP address which is a pain in the butt. In order to access my MetaFrame web client I have to type the my fathers domain name with the port number EX: www.name:port. The problem with that is dns entries on that server don't point to the citrix server so I just need to figure out how to point dns in the right direction can someone please explain how to do this. Or the kind of records that I may need to add.
