remote desktop + open ports

by kev.clark . Updated 16 years, 10 months ago

Greetings Guys…..

Have a computer at my office that has a linksys router attached. All works great.
This unit is refered to as our psuedo server. No one works on it, it has XP Pro and handles all of our devices. We have 3 other computers networked with it using a workgroup…all works nice.. I need to use remote desktop to get to my 3 pc’s on this network from my home office. Using remote desktop I use the following to get to the router then Pc. example 38.141.181.12:3389,, this gets me thru the router and to the PC (ip) that I have listed in the router setup under single port forwarding using port 3389… Problem is it seems like i can only use 3389 once and point it to one IP as per router software… I can change the IP address and get to any/all computers, but I can’t set the router to let me get through to all 3 (without changing the port forward IP address). every time i try to forward 3389 (on more than one line in router software, it won’t accept it)….I have set to other open ports (used netstat and found listening ports)but remote desktop won’t connect to these…..how can I add the other 2 IP address’s to this port…

thx
Kev
