    Please forgive me if this is not the best newsgroup for this problem, but I
    have looked everywhere for answers and now I'm here.

    Is it possible to take a WindowsXP machine and enable IIS and build a small
    website that I could access from the internet, be authenicated at and then
    have access to my intranet? I would like to use Internet Explorer to see
    desktops on my intranet while I am outside at a remote location.

    A few days ago I ran across a Microsoft download for an ActiveX control that
    seemed to be an add in for IIS that would assist in the authenication. The
    download also included a small generic webpage (html) that could be served
    out to ask for the authenication information from the remote user. I have
    since lost my way back to that Microsoft download page for that item and my
    search for it have turned up nothing. Does anyone have a clue where that
    download is?

    The bottom line is this. I want to connect my LAN to the internet 24x7 and
    have an internet appliance in place to provide the firewall services. I
    really need to be able to use IE to look inside, instead of having to use a
    client VPN solution, because sometimes the remote machine might not and
    probably would not have a VPN client on it that would facilitate access to
    my network. Therefore I would like to use IE and have a simple cheap
    solution webserver located in a DMZ or behind the firewall, (wherever
    required), to authenicate to and then allow me to navigate to various W2000
    server desktops to check them.

    Thanks so much for your help, it's really appreciated,
