Can You See Me?
I'm having a hard time taking control of my desktop over RDP. Really frustrating. I don't use port 3389, as that's too obvious. I use my router to forward a different port to my server, but I can't get it to work. It works for my other PC's of course, but just not this one. Somehow, now that I've reinstalled the O/S, I can't get it to work.
I set up the PC to allow incoming RDP connections. I turned off the firewall. I set up the port forwarding in the Linksys BEFW11S4 router. I just can't get it to work. Maddening.
I've been using this port check tool called "Can you see me?" which is fairly useful, but of course, I've still not solved the problem.
OK. I just figured it out. I've got to go into the registry and change the port that RDP listens to. This was the step that I'd forgotten.

» Changing the Port RDP Listens To from Peenie Wallie
By default, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) listens to incoming port 3389. I've changed this on my computer, of course. But every time I reinstall the O/S, this is the step that trips me up. I have to remember to go... [Read More]
