RDC from the road to more than one system on a LAN

I use RDC-works great! I also have another system on that LAN I would like
to connect to occasionally. I set the router(port forwarding) to passthru
the 2nd system IP address and I used port 3389 again for this RDC. It will
not connect, saying username, pw, etc. are not right. If I kill port
forwarding on the router for system #1, I can easily RDC system #2. When I
add system #1 back on the router (port forwarding) on port 3389, system #2 is
blocked. Must I use two different ports? If so, how do I set the 2nd port
up? Both systems #1 and 2 are XP Pro.

Al,
Not only did it answer all my questions, it was not 'rocket science'. Many
thanks... Anyone with a similar problem, look no further, this is the answer.
