When you say it's possible to see the traffic, you mean as an admin you can see a user is active using the port or you can see what's actually going through the port? As an analogy, I don't mind if my admin sees my car on the road (I'm assuming if he doesn't want me driving he'll say so) - I just don't want him to be able to roll my window down and see me picking my nose at the stoplight

I don't know if this will help you, but the file is in: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Communications That file isn't necessarily available right from the get go. I had to go through some help files in xp to figure out how to "install" it or unpack it or whatever the heck I did. I was surprised when I discovered it worked. I guess the admins haven't gotten around to locking us out of it (yet).

I am using remote desktop to connect FROM my pc at work TO my PC at home. The admins here at work have locked us out of anything remotely interesting on the web, including internet email. The remote desktop allows me to access files on my home PC, and (thankfully) let's me send internet emails until I'm blue in the face My question is, can the admins see what I'm doing? I'm sure they might be able to see that I'm making that remote connection, but unless they use a screenshot utility or keylogger or something, they can't see files that I'm opening, websites that I'm visiting, or posts on MSFN that I'm making... right?
