I have two computers connected to a wireless Router Linksys. Both Computers
have Wins XP Pro. I have set up remote desktop for tsweb as well as an
internal network. I am having problems connecting to one of my computers
outside of the network. I have on computer configured with the Default
Listening Port 3389, and the other computer has been changed in the Registry
to 3991. My router configuration goes as follows

Computer 1 Port TCP Enabled
Remote 192.168.1.101 80 YES YES
Listn'n Port 192.168.1.101 3389 YES YES

Computer 2 Port TCP Enable
Remote 192.168.1.100 1474 YES YES
Listn' Port 192.168.1.100 3391 YES YES

I can connect Computer 1 No Problem, But when I try to access Computer 2 I
cannot.... In the address bar I Place the Following:

64.244.......:1474/tsweb

It will let me connect to the remote desktop page, but when i hit connect,
it will not Display the Window to enter the User name and Password,,,,, I
get a error Message that Follows : Cannot Connect to server, either not
connected to a Network or the Terminal Server is to Busy. Please try again
Later.... Am I suppose to change another Setting To configure The Listening
Port (3991) Besides the Registry to allow remote desktop to connect to the
other Computer ?

Thank you
