>Thank you very much, Naomi. I will download this Remote Desktop and install it on my Win 2000 PC. I am trying not to install VPN Client on my XP machine where do all my work. I know it is a paranoia but I am concerned that installing VPN client on this PC will slow things down.

I haven't noticed any slowdown, but I'm just a user, don't have any knowledge on the subject.
