Hi all, As fate would have it I''m giving away my old desktop to a friend who has no computer. The upside is that means I have room to setup my old-old desktop, which happens to have Windows 2000 on it. It''s a dual Pentium-II 400 with 512mb of RAM. I installed the Ruby 1.8.6 one-click on it, and it already had VC++ 6 on it. Fairly zippy, actually. What I would like to do is give certain people access to the machine. Preferably, just a command line login. Unfortunately, the only things I saw online for command line logins were commercial products. I thought about firing up the telnet service, but it seems to require NTLM authentication. My attempts to configure ntml were foiled - for some reason the OS thinks I don''t have admin privileges (I do). Any suggestions? I''m willing to pay money if you think there''s a commercial product out there that''s worth it (I saw rlogind from MKS Software - any good?), but I would prefer a free solution if possible. You can email me offline (djberg96 at gmail dot com) if you prefer to take this offline. Thanks, Dan

I just realized that this might be a moot point without a static IP, however. I''ve got DSL using DHCP. So, for the moment, I think I can only login from my living room. Suggestions welcome. :) Thanks, Dan

Got the virtual host setup and I can ping it. Cool. Now KpyM is complaining. I think I might need to remove it and reinstall it. I''ll bet the DynDNS stuff confused it. Anyway, I''ll work it out.
