I need to have a client connect to port 3390 instead of 3389.

I found How to change Terminal Server's listening port

But, i do not have a "Client Connection manager" available, just the mstsc.exe client, so how to i edit the .rdp file so it uses port 3390 instead? I tried adding

server port:3390 but that was unsuccessful.

The original MS Terminal Service Client (supplied with Windows 2000) did not support changing the port for terminal services by using SERVERNAME:PortNumber
The MS RDP client (supplied with XP and 2003) is 100% compatible with all MS terminal servers and allows you to set the client connection port with the following notation:

SERVERNAME:PortNumber

You can download the new client at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

If you haven't yet configured the server this is how you do it:

To alter the default port for all new connections created on the Terminal Server:
Run Regedt32 and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Terminal Server\Wds\Repwd\Tds\Tcp
Find the "PortNumber" subkey and notice the value of 00000D3D, hex for (3389).
Modify the port number in Hex and save the new value.

To change the port for a specific connection on the Terminal Server: Run Regedt32 and go to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Terminal Server\WinStations\<connection>
This is helpful for changing ports for Citrix MetaFrame and others.
Find the "PortNumber" subkey and notice the value of 00000D3D, hex for (3389).
Modify the port number in Hex and save the new value.

NOTE: The Terminal Server Active X client listens on TCP port 3389 and cannot be changed. If you are using the WebEnabled version of the TSE Client and change the port, the ActiveX client will no longer work.

Alternatively you can leave the TS Server on 3389 and use a port redirector on your firewall to redirect any inbound port to 3389 - equally effective when combined with the RDP client
