Changing the Port RDP Listens To
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 into the registry and change the port that RDP listens to.
(I had to reinstall the O/S because I never could shake that virus I had.)
Also, I had to go into the Windows Firewall, open up the new RDP port number for TCP.
I had previously Right-clicked on My Computer on the desktop and configured the computer to allow remote access. After doing all 3 of these things and rebooting the computer, I can now connect to it remotely (again).
