In order to add the new listening port:
�
1) Run REGEDIT on your Server.
�
2) Export the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp�
�
3) Edit the REG file and change the name of the key to something like:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp-New
�
4) In the REG file find
PortNumber
and change it to whatever port you want.
�
5) Import the REG file back to the registry.
�
�You can now connect to the new port by using the "old" Windows 2000 Terminal Server client. A better option is to use the XP RDP 5.1 or�the newer Windows Server 2003 RDP 5.2 client.
�
To Alter the Port on the client side:
�
1) Go to the Start menu and click on Run.
�
2) On the Run menu type MSTSC and click Enter.
�
Note: To use RDP on computers with operating systems other than Windows XP/2003 you will first need to install the RDP client.
�
3) In the RDP window, in the Computer box, scroll to the computer name or IP to which you wish to connect.
�
4) Add a ":Port" (without the quotes) where "Port" is the decimal value of the destination port.
�
5) Press Connect.
�
Another method of connecting to a different port that default is to run the MSTSC command with the required command line parameters:
/v:ServerName[:Port]
�
For example: MSTSC /v:192.168.0.150:3390
