Connect to non-standard ports with MS Remote Desktop
Authored by: lullabud on Oct 14, '04 12:29:54PM
Amazing, I had no idea that MS claimed to not support this function. I've been using it for a loooong time and mkutny is absolutely right, it is VERY handy. My room mates and I all use Mac laptops and Windows XP desktops, and this makes it possible for us all to connect to our home systems while at work or on the road.

For those who don't know, the Microsoft Knowledgebase article #187623 shows how to change the port number on the Windows side of things.

The gist of it is to change the PortNumber key in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
