remote desktop (complex setup)

Ok, here's my scenerio. I am studying for my MCDST and came across remote
desktop configuration and decided to play around with my own network using
port forwarding on my router. I sucessfully forwarded all incoming
connections to port 3389 to my server (running Exchange Server 2003) and was
able to connect sucessfully from inside and outside my local network. But
here is what I want to do. I want to ALSO set up a connection to my desktop
computer running XP Pro. Because I can only forward port 3389 to one
computer, I was wondering how I can configure another connection to forward
to the other computer. I researched microsoft's knowledge base and found out
I can use the 255.255.255.255:1234 (IP being the IP of the network and the
port being the configured port) to connect remotely using a different port,
so I configured my router to forward 3390 to my desktop, enabled remote
desktop on the my desktop, opened the port on my firewall, and tested it. It
didn't work. I am able to remote to the desktop from INSIDE the network, but
not from outside. What can I do?
