using alternative port for TSC in wm2003 se

hi Is there anyway to specify an alternative connetion port when connecting to a ts server from the client on the wm2003se?
i want to be able to specify the following:
123.112.123.50:2424
instead of:
123.112.123.50
any ideas? or any hacks in the registry for this?
thanks

is it possible to..

remote control ma ppc with ma pc via gprs??? how??!??

is there no way to control my pc from my ppc!??!!?
something like remote desktop(windows have..) ??

Most remote control software works using a regular network connection through active sync.
This should thus be possible with pretty much any nework connection, including gprs. Basically just dial gprs, get your phone's ip address, and use that for remote control. I think. In theory. But not fast.

Hang on. what are you asking? control you PPC from your PC or vice versa.
Either way, look into VNC.

I would have thought so.
You'll need XP pro for the remote desktop server to be built in though. XP home does not have it.
Failing that, VNC, look here: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~midgley/wince/vnc.html

You can do this easily via GPRS. Simply connect to the internet via GPRS, and then start up Terminal Services Client on the ppc, insert the ip address of your pc, and step through the authentication dialogue. Of course you will have to make sure that your pc (running WinXP) has World Wide Web Services installed, so as to enable Remote Desktop via the internet.
Hope this helps.

i tried via terminal services , add my ip(of the pc) open the port from router, from my coputer click the allow other people to connect to this pc(also there i added ppc's ip) but could connect. i got an error from ppc.
i am using win xp pro .
i there another application like terminal services ??

VNC?

couldnt download it
can u tell me which file? that one which sais PocketPC win2003?
i download that and a error came out

Did you enter your PCs IP address as seen on the PC, or did you enter the external internet IP? They are 2 different numbers, and regardless of whether you have ports open or not you wont be able to connect directly to the PCs network IP address.
If you're using an ADSL router then go to the configuration or settings page and find out what your internet IP is.

Re VNC
I've used this one quite well:

But there are other free versions I imagine.

@JuNiOr_Gr
Which Port did you open for Terminal Services?
Did you then connect to you Internet IP from your PPC or to your local IP?
If you use VNC you have to open the VNC Port (default 5900).
Ist there a software firewall (e.g. XP Firewall) installed on your PC?

For terminal services to work you must have a password set on your XP account. Otherwise it should work with port 3389 forwarded. I use it fine from my Magician over GPRS.
Only thing is that it's a shame you don't seem to be able to turn off desktop background, themes etc that you can from the Desktop version of Terminal Services Client as this would improve speed.

how can connect a none standard port terminal services?

for example I want to connect 111.111.111.111:8888
that is none standard port (3389)
how can connect it with TSC on my o2 exec?
if the port is 3389,it works well.
thx

How to change the Terminal Services Remote listening port
Hello,
THis page may help you:
http://theillustratednetwork.mvps.o...html#change_the_Remote_Desktop_Listening_Port
The idea is to create a registry value that corresponds to the port 8888 in your example).
Hope this helps.

Using a Port other than 3389 for Terminal services ?????????

Hi,
Is it possible to use a port other 3389 with the Terminal services client?
Or is this hardcoded into the client ?
Thanks
Rob

No its not possible. Also the server always runs on port 3389.

REALLY!
Please explain ? As we run a multiple server network with Terminal services running on various port from 3385 up to 3399. We also change the default port on our workstations (XP prof) from 3389 This a well documented item. You then specify in Terminal server client:- IPORT. Example: 84.234.456.789:3396. Use it everyday!
Rob

two ways that you can do this:
1: on the host machine, regedit to here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
Find "Portnumber" and open. Click on "Decimal" and change to the desired port. The PC will now listen on your specified port number for incoming terminal service requests.
2: If you have a router you can use port redirection. (virtual servers etc)
Specify the ext port number (eg. 3390) then the int port number (3389) then the IP address of your target PC. This will redirect all traffic recieved on port 3390 to port 3389 to your specified internal IP address.
To access remotely for example using remote desktop connection, enter your IP address (or dynamic DNS address) followed by :3390
Hope this helps

Thanks Codiac,
So you can't specify the port in terminal services client connection box (as per a Full size PC runing XP Prof) only as a registery change.

Your piccy is right, you can enter IP addresses followed by a port number.
eg: 81.33.44.55:3399
The problem with, for example XP Pro is that it will only listen on 3389 by default, the registry change is necessary if you want to access more than 1 PC on a network.
As per your piccy, once you have edited the registry to a chosed port, the PC will then listen on that port (eg. :3390).
I personally use Option 2, this requires no change to the registry of a PC, the router does the redirection for you.
for example:
PC 1 = 192.168.0.1
PC 2 = 192.168.0.2
To access PC 1 allow a rule in the router to pass port (external) 3389 to (internal) 3389 to 192.168.0.1
To access PC 2 allow rule in router to pass port (external) 3390 to (internal) 3389 to 192.168.0.2
this way, when you open the remote desktop connection client and enter say, 81.44.231.22:3390 the router will see 3390 and redirect it to 3389 straight to 192.168.0.2
Hope this helps

Hi Codiac.
I think I'm confusing you here. Port change, at the host is not the problem. Either by router redirection, or registry edit of the listening port of the HOST. Its the CLIENT in Win mobile 5 wont let you specify a port when connecting to a host. You can with a registery edit of the Win mobile client on the Pocket PC, change the port, but not at connection IP 'time'

how 2 use non default port with Terminal Service Client?

In WM5 there is a built in Terminal Service Client. I need to connect to a PC that is behind a firewall and is using a non default port number.
I am easily able to connect via Windows RDP, but the WM Terminal Service Client does not seem to even try and connect if i use a non standard port number.
Example: \\10.0.0.1:4540
Any ideas how to get this to work?

I'm holding a baby in one hand, so briefly, is possible, need to edit registry appropriately. VJFullscreenTSC thread may discuss setting but it's googalable. I think it's the only setting that can be changed.
