Connect to non-standard ports with MS Remote Desktop
Authored by: rhithyn on Oct 14, '04 10:56:10PM

I was having a similar problem until I realized that Zone Alarm was not allowing the connections... now I'm used to being prompted with Zone Alarm, but it was refusing to prompt on requested connections or even when I tried to force it locally... Only after disabling zone alarm was I able to restore the connection functionality. Strange indeed.

Another thing I noticed is you can specify exceptions for specific network interfaces (assuming you have more than one). You may want to make sure that the interface you have connected to the 'net is also marked to exclude 3389 from it's firewall filtering.
