Terminal Services Client Port Address

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Just to give our friendly crackers another minor challenge, we've
changed the default port for RDP sessions on all our servers. (VPN
tunnelling next on the list but changing the port was a quick and dirty
option I could do right away).

All working OK for desktops, but now I discover that the Client on my
PDA iPAQ 4150 witn WM2003 won't accept a port identifier on the IP
address line so there goes my mobile support option --AAARGH!

I understand from a bit of searching that there was a registry tweak for
PPC2002 but that it doesn't work with 2003.

Any ideas? Is there a third party client that works OK??

Thanks

The registry hack works on my iPAQ 5555 running WM2003... You should make the registry change then
soft reset the iPAQ. See the "How to change the Remote Desktop Listening Port - PocketPC Note"
section near the bottom of this page...

Edit the following registry key...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default]

Add a DWORD value named "Server Port" and enter the new port number
you want to use.

Works fine on my X30 running WM2003 SE!
