Re: Windows XP

What Vera said, pkus if you have multiple users, you'll have to configure
seperate ports for those users in the registry, all the users cannot use
port 3389 unless they plan to use the same computer one person at a time.

those other users will have to connect ip:port in the remote desktop program
