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.

Please do. I was too lazy. Just out of curiosity, what is your layer 3
device? A DSL modem? a Router? Could change things.
