Change port number for remote desktop console tsmmc.msc

[Guest]

I have changed the standard port number (3389) for Terminal services on the Windows 2000 Server to 7777 (Q187623).
Now I'm trying to connect to the Server with the Remote Desktop -MMC consle (tsmmc.msc) from Windows XP.
Here I can't add the port number to the IP-adress like (10.110.1.100:7777)

How can I change the port number in the remote desktop console on the client to 7777 ?

If you want to use the regular client, you can supply it like you
specify... I think this may be a limitation of the mmc client...

Jeffry, thank you for your answer

are you sure, that this is a limitation of the mmc, or where can I get that answer?

I'm not sure... I don't use the MMC client as it doesn't seem to
support as many features as the regular client....

Remote Destop MMC with alternate port

I was struggling with this same problem, and posted some info about it on my blog here. Apparently the latest version of the administration tools allows you to specify an alternate port.
