Re: TCP 3389 and Remote Desktop

Your suggestion to change the default port 3389 via RegEdit does not solve
the problem, unfortunately. To access one PC on my peer to peer network
through a Broadband modem and wireless router, it appears two ports need to
be opened, the default 3389 and a second port with a unique number, both
assigned to one static IP. Opening only 3389 assigned to a static IP does not
allow access. It seems there must be a second port open for the same IP with
a unique number. If only one port is necessary, it would facilitate changing
the default port from 3389 using RedEdit in order to allow access to several
PCs with unique static IPs and default port numbers as you have suggested.
However, unless I am doing something wrong, changing the default port using
RedEdit and assigning a second unique port to the same unique IP does not
work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Alternatives would be to setup a VPN or SSH server on your network and
access all PCs with Remote Desktop through the one hole in the router
without needing the port hack.

In all cases use a *strong* password...

Is there any way to change the default port for Remote Desktop from 3389
for
a host computer running WinXP Professional? There is a conflict using a
Linksys wireless router for a peer to peer network when trying to access
more
than one PC remotely as 3389 must be assigned to each static IP in
addition
to the unique port number used in the URL. I am not an advanced user, any
detailed suggestions would be of great assistance. A Microsoft tech
provided
instructions for changing the remote port using RegEdit, but it did not
solve
the problem. Only one PC is remotely accessable on the network using a
unique port and the default port 3389 for Remote Desktop. No other PCs
are
not accessable with a unique IPs with two unique ports assigned including
the
default 3389.
