Use different ports for each machine
It would be far simpler to do the following:
Use different ports for each machine
Unfortunately this obvious solution won't work here. The poster of this hint should have pointed out there is no way to change the connection port within Remote Desktop 3.2. I believe this is the limitation he is trying to overcome.
Use different ports for each machine
Apple Remote Desktop's port limitation is not a show stopper. Mapping different fixed router ports to our home machines is how I manage our remote access - you can get around the fixed port limitation by either..
1- forwarding your own localhost:ARD to yourRouterIP:PORT and then just connecting Remote Desktop to "localhost" 2- using other VNC software! try Vine Viewer, JollysFastVNC, or Chicken of the VNC Note this method alone (and that specified the original hint) is NOT a secure connection. See rbenezra's comment above and search this site for "VNC SSH" or something similar to find pointers on secure VNC access to home. My router lets me reserve specific DHCP allocated IP's to machines with specific MAC addresses. It's a convenience, otherwise I would have to used a fixed IP setup ("DHCP with manual address" option on each machine). Also, using a free service like DynDns.org means i dont need to remember my home IP.
