Remote Desktop connection help

[Mike]

I am trying to set up a remote desktop connection to multiple
computers within my office network, but can only figure out how to get
it to work for one. Basically, I want to be able to login in via
remote desktop to 3 different computers for remote troubleshooting and
support. I can set up a port forward for one computer, but that leaves
the other two computers out. Is there a way to specify which computer
and set it up? Thanks.

all of the PCs through one hole in your firewall/router versus opening
multiple holes. Personally I use SSH...
