windows mobile 5.0 and term services

On my new Sprint PPC-6700 (which, so far, is an awesome phone), the terminal services client works to the default port, ip address 123.123.123.123 - but when I put in 123.123.123.123:3393 (to direct it to another port that's setup on my router), it says the name is invalid. I'm using Windows Mobile 5.0, and I can't find any info in my net searching.

Thanks!

I'm afraid I don't know very much about what it is you're trying to do, but I found an article online that might be able to assist you. Please come back and let me know if you're still having problems after reading the article and I'll try to find another solution... Good luck

Note: Before you go reading the article, I read somewhere that you *might* be able to enter the port number by adding a space after the ip like the following example (it's at least worth a try):

123.123.123.123 :3393

Thanks for the reply. I tried the space and it doesn't work. It gives the error "The server name specified is invalid" with or without the space. If I take off the :3393, it connects just fine. The link didn't help, because that guy can't connect at all, even to the standard port (3389.) I guess there's not a lot of people trying to do this quite yet. I could get around it by putting the host that my mobile phone needs to get to on the default term svcs port and putting the other one on 3393, but I'm going to keep looking a bit before giving up.

Thanks -

Why is is important for you to change the port if it 'connects just fine' without entering the port number? I'm trying to understand what you're doing. I read other articles that I didn't think would apply to you that gave instructions to change the default port on the computer/server you want to connect to, and the Windows Mobile PDA/phone would detect the different port and connect to it automatically. Would this information be helpful?

Here's what I'm doing...I have 3 different "host" computers setup on my network for people to access from outside. If you only have 1 host computer you want to access, you set up your router to send 3389 to that computer. Then on the outside computer, you start Remote Desktop, put in the ip address of your router (just 123.123.123.123). Remote Desktop default is to use port 3389, the router sees this come in on 3389, and sends you to your host computer. If you want to have 2 computers available to the outside, you can't have them both be 3389, because the router won't know which one to send it to. So you set up the host computer to listen for Remote Desktop on 3391 (this is in the registery of that computer). Then you setup your router to send something coming in on 3391 to computer 2. On the outside pc, you start Remote Desktop, and you put in the address of the router and the port to use (123.123.123.123:3391). For the 3rd host computer, you edit the registery to make the host listen on 3393, setup the router to route 3393 to the third computer, and on the outside you put in 123.123.123.123:3393. Only your router has a public ip address - your inside computers have private addresses that you can't access from outside - this is for security. This all works great with outside computers. But my new PPC-6700 will not let me put in 123.123.123.123:3393. It will only let me put in 123.123.123.123, which comes in on the default of 3389 and goes to my first computer, which is not the one I want.

Makes sense?
