I am attempting to remotely access 2 different PCs running
IIS and the Remote Desktop Web package. I have one of the
machines listening on the default 3389 and the other on
3390 so that when I'm able to use the full Remote Desktop
Client I am able to access both machines by entering
machinename:port number to get to the second machine
through poirt forwarding, etc.

I can access both machines' web pages for Remote Desktop
and I connect to the Remote Desktop session for the
machine listening on port 3389 bu simply entering the
machine name and/or WAN IP address, LAN IP address. But
when I attempt to access the machine listening on port
3390 I am unable to gain access and I receive a VBScript
error, "VBScript:Remote Desktop Disconnected - the client
could not connect to the remote computer. Remote
connections might not be enabled yada yada yada"

Also, when I try to enter the server as "machine
name:3390" the IE page status bar immediately reflects an
error on the page.

Is there any way to change the port in this setup?

Thanks kindly for your help.
 
You need to edit the default.htm file in the web client to enable
connections to alternate ports...

Add:
MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RDPPort = 3390
to the file and name it default2.htm

You can then connect to http://ipaddress/tsweb/default2.htm to get to
the other machine.
