I need to do modify the firewall settings for RDP
to allow Port 3390, not 3389 in the Windows XP (SP2)
firewall. Can this be done?
I have already modified the registry in a remote PC to
allow access to port 3390 (the listening port), but it
appears that the built in firewall in XP with the
designated field for Remote Desktop has Port 3389 by
default, and the port cannot be modified.
If I add a NEW port to the firewall rule (RDP-3390) and
check it, the remote access attempt via RDP does not work.
If I turn off the firewall in XP, it works.
Port forwarding in a Linksys router is set to forward port
3390 to the machine in question (with a fixed IP of
192.168.1.100), the DHCP pool is outside the range of the
fixed IP's in the network, and all other relevant settings
are turned on in the XP box in question (as referenced,
questioned, replied to and verified in a previous post here).
What am I missing or what do I need to do (I do not want to
turn off the firewall)?
I am starting a new thread since it appears the old one has
died, either because it is nested deep inside the original
starting thread and as I have seen, if some 'readers' may
bypass replies, etc., depending on the habits of the end
user and the Newsgroup reader they are using, and also, as
it seems that nobody has answerd my last inquiries (or at
least attempted to contribute information to potentially
resolve the issues), I felt it might be prudent to start
all over again.
