ok hi,

my next question must be relatively simple, i just want to setup RDP on multiple computers but obviously cant forward one port to more then 1 host. Is there a way to solve this without changing the RDP port on the other PCs?

Thanks
 
I don't understand what are you trying to do.

If you enable RDP on a client, you can connect to it by typing its IP address.

If you are talking about an EXTERNAL connection this is different, and... no, you CANNOT. Or, at least, you must have a single public IP for each client...
 
so changing the port then would work, anabling forwarding on different port to the different internal hosts.

Can you change the default windows RDP port?

thanks
 
Well... actually yes but this is not logic.

The problem is that you have 1 public IP, which is fine, but your clients are behind a NAT. Now, if you want to enable RDP for each pc, you must modify every single port and... REMEMBER IT!

So, once you open RDP you must type: MyPublicIpAddress:PORT and the value PORT will be different for each host. If you have a network firewall, this is painful, because you must open EVERY port.

Anyway, to modify the RDP port do the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\ select PortNumber and edit, select DECIMAL as value, and add your custom port.

If you have a firewall, remember that you need to enable this port.
