How do I route RDC connections to multiple computers?

[Ns1]

Say IP from ISP is 1.1.1.1

2 computeres I want to connect to are

192.168.1.10
192.168.1.20

On my router IIRC I set it to forward port 3389 to computer .10


How would I be able to use RDC on 192.168.1.20?

Would it be able to differentiate based on user name? Would I have to change the port for each machine I want to use RDC on?

easiest way would be to use different ports. your router isnt smart enough to route based on application level information.

alternatively just RDP to .10, then from .10 RDP to .20.

Change the default Port (3389) of RDP to a another port unique to each computer.

Use static IP, or static IP within DHCP if your Router support it.

Open the RDP port toward each computer's according to the assignes ports.

or forward 3389 (external port) to one PC on 3389 (internal port)
then forward 3390 (external) to the other PC on 3389 (internal)

Most routers can do that kind of mapping

Windows Home Server will also do it automatically for you. It switches to TCP Port 4125 for access to the WHS, you chose the PC you want to remote to from a list, and then WHS automatically makes the connections to each Remote Desktop machine over TCP Port 3389.
