Re: [Vista] need to RDP to multiple computers on same network
Can you connect to the Vista 64 Ult computer using the local IP:3391 from another PC on the same LAN? Does that work? What happens if you run the »www.canyouseeme.org test for port 3391 when your logged on the Vista 64 computer locally?
Can you connect to the third PC using its local LAN IP:3399 from another PC on the same LAN? Does that work? What happens if you run the »www.canyouseeme.org test for port 3399 when your logged on the third PC locally?
Does your router support port redirection as suggested by Leathal and as illustrated in the first link I gave you? If it does reconfigure each of your three PCs to use the default listening port, ie. TCP Port 3389, reboot and test again over the local LAN.
Its best, IMHO, to use a static LAN IP for each PC your trying to port forward to through your router. If you don't there is a possibility that the assigned IP address can change if the PC is rebooted effectively negating any port forwarding scheme you use.
The bottom line is if you can't connect over the local LAN you will never connect from a remote location.
