Hi all,
I'm not looking for simultaneous access to a machine, and please nudge me in the right direction if this is the wrong thread for this - I need to set up 2 windows 7 machines for remote access from outside of the network.
I am able to get access to either machine using the default port of 3389 (and only activating RDC on one machine at a time). If I change the listening port, I lose access for some reason. I have only tried 2 ports so far, 5150 and 5151, so there may be a potential conflict, not sure yet (this was done using the registry mod for the listening port). I only say that as a FAQ I ran across for RDC setup in Win 7 suggested trying ports over 64000. I am going to test this tomorrow, but wanted to ask here if anyone had any other ideas.
What I am looking for, is a way to connect from school, to either of my 2 Win 7 machines. I am using a Linksys WRT54G router, but not using wireless. Like I said, assigning the port forwarding to port 3389 works on each machine individually. I am assuming I have to have each machine set to listen to a unique port in order to do this, but how do I do that if only 3389 works?
if mapped according to the assigned listening ports, I should be able to pick which to connect to, right? ie:
174.105.222.188:63000 for machine 1
174.105.222.188:63500 for machine 2
Hopefully the test tomorrow of a higher port range will answer this, but I'll happily take any other advice that anyone might have.
