Hi all,

I want to use the Remote Desktop Web connection to access two different
computers on my LAN. What port(s) on my router do I need to open up? I know
I must open port 80 to get to the TSWeb application. Do I need to open up
port 3389 as well or does the TSWeb application redirect everything through
port 80 back to my remote client?

Whatever the answer to my question I assume the same would be true if I were
to change the listening ports on the computers on the LAN. I have already
updated the TSWeb default.htm page to allow for specific port numbers to be
entered.

Thanks,

Dan
