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?

Which kb are you referencing? I don't bother with setting up a second
forwarder. When I login to the first box I can create as many rdp
connections to my internal network as I like.

I saw it at: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=304304 I have been able to
remote into my server and then remote into the desktop from the server
(basically a piggy-back remote connection, if you will) if that's what
you're talking about) but it interests me to find out if there is another
way to do it, but upon searching for that KB article, I came across another
article referencing how to change the port that remote desktop listens on
through registry editor, so I'm gonna give that a shot. I'll let you know if
it works.
