Apple Remote Desktop (need walk through tutorial)

[stoneage]

I'm having a devil of a time connecting with ARD. I can run Timbuktu, but I think ARD is supposed to be smoother. I get completely lost trying to set up access. Is there a walk through tutorial somewhere that can help me? I can't even seem to create a new port in my Sharing preference pane. I am completely lost. Why can't this be easier?

Why would you need to create a new port in sharing? Both Services and Firewall have Apple Remote Desktop listed.

I have them enabled but I still can't connect. In fact in Help it says open 3283 and the Sharing pane says 3238. I'm really confused.
