Remote Desktop port number oddity, windows firewall issue?
I've recently had problems with remote desktop not working. If it doesn't show up, I'm using Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit. I had been using a port other than 3389 for obvious reasons. I changed the registry key a long time ago. This was the key I changed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
I changed it from 3389 to, let's say, 2001. It worked perfectly for months with that new port. Recently, I'd say in the last 2 months, it stopped working for no apparent reason. When I change the registry key back to 3389, it works fine. I can deal with it on port 3389 but I'd rather have an obfuscated port number. Any suggestions? If you need more information from me, just let me know. Thanks in advance.
