non-VPN network license access?

[lcamara]

Has anybody set up AutoCAD 2005 to use a network license over the Internet without using a VPN? I found a post on the Autodesk site that mentioned ports 27000 and 2080 but it didn't give any specific instruction about how to set the network server location, and I think it was referring to 2002. Are there environment variables or registry entries that I can use to set the location to an IP address?
