Where does my NT workstation get the rights or permissions to be able to
connect to the NT Server IIS though a TCP/IP connection over the Internet?
The Workstation is set not to logon to domain. It is a member of
Workgroup. When I connect to the Internet it is through a terminal server
with radius. Where am I logging on to the NT server?
Thanks,
