"don't be misled into thinking that the firewall issue constitutes a problem with citrix technology. that's what firewalls are for. passing ica is a sysadmin/security issue. the firewall will pass anything you like.

i recently tried the demo via my 28.8kbps modem. i used word and excel. it worked flawlessly. the performance was much better than rdp - which i use regularly from the same box over the same modem."


Scott,
A couple of quick questions from a non-professional.

I understand what you are saying about a firewall not passing ICA client the first time you try. So you ring up the sysadmin and he gives you the info or alters something to let ICA for the client pass.

But once he does this, does that mean the user/client can use Citrix from then on out? In other words, is there anything else in MetaFrame that prevents it from EASILY working through a firewall once you overcome the initial barrier?
Thanks,
MikeM(From Florida)
