Hello. Im running Windows XP Pro SP3 on one of the machine's on my house. It wont let me connect internally nor externally to the remote computer via Remote Desktop. I have 3 computers set up to run remote Desktop. Downstiars 1 Remote Desktop port is 3389, My Desktop's Remote Desktop Port is 3390 and Downstairs 2 is 3391. Both Downstairs 1 and My Desktop work for remote desktop, but the other one doesnt. I allowed the Program & Port to run for 3391, but nothing works. I also made sure I forwarded ports to my internal IP address but still no luck. What am I doing wrong?

how do you connect a remote desktop client using a non-default port?
what error message do you get?
what error message do you get?
I connect either entering my ip address xx.xx.xxx.xx:3191 or using my DynDNS Hostname. I am connecting to multiple of them from the outside network, so that's why they are set up. The error message I am getting is just saying I cannot connect to the remote computer.

Did you change the default listening port in the registry?
can you connect to it on your local network via its lan ip?

Yes I do. I even turned it off to connect to it, and it still didnt work.. My Virus software isnt blocking anything either. I have to get a different product key although for the computer because for some reason, it says its not genuine. So Im not sure if that affects it or not?

can you ping the machine? this would rule out dns and network connectivity issues
