firewall changes required to change remote desktop port from 3389 to 3392
Everything works using port 3389. I have changed port to 3392 on router and registry. How do I change firewall rule to port 3392? port is grayed out - not changeable

If you are talking about the Windows Firewall then it is normal. You cannot change the port number on the default inbound rule. You need to create another inbound rule and define it there. Source Port: TCP (any) Destination Port: TCP 3392 Regards, Vik Singh "rod001" wrote in message news:c90b5094-8ddf-4a41-bd91-99a3b739c8cf@communitybridge.codeplex.com...

I suspected I would have to figure this out myself. You CAN change the port number on the default inbound rule. Simply search the registry and change every instance of 3389 (where it refers to a port) to 3392 (or your preferred port #). Also in "Network and Sharing Center" change the TCP adapter settings from "Obtain an IP address automatically" to "Use the following IP address" using an address in the range of your router. Then in your router point port 3392 (or whatever # you used) to this static IP. Note: the wording in the Remote Desktop Firewall Rule Description still says 3389 but if you look at the local port actually being used it has changed. As always with registry changes - backup first!
