Re: Connect to More Than 1 Computer On A Network?


Give each host a unique port number.

Thank you. Unfortunately, this just won't work for me. I think the problem
is in the Linksys router configuration page. I can log into any computer as
long as I change the IP address on the Linksys port forwarding page. But the
idea is to be able to select which computer I log into via Remote Desktop.

I'm able to change the (listening) port of one of the machines in RegEdit.
But trying to hook up with Remote Desktop by adding colon + the new port
doesn't work. Can't connect.

I spent an hour on the phone with Linksys and I don't even think they knew
what I was talking about. I go into their config page and add port
forwarding to cover the other computer. To no avail.

Any idea on how to get some help with this one?
