Actually, the only thing I want to test is the remote machine and its
firewall. I want to test it from my local machine(which has its own
firewall of course -- have to keep the evil Mr. Hacker out!)

And, again, my testing a machine is running windows XP. The machine, I wish
to test his running some kind of Linux.
