Thanks for reminding to restart Terminal services.
Before restarting Terminal Services, even I changed the lis-port, wasn’t working.
Thanks, you rock.

Thank you for reminding me the firewall setting.
I didn’t realize it because I don’t use the firewall.

You forgot about Windows Firewall. If you want to listen to port 3390 you need to add that port to the exceptions list because 3389 is the default port that is opened in the firewall with Vista. Probably WinXP too.

Interestign! You think it’ possible to enable 2 different ports to listen for a connection. I need default connection for some users and a different one for myself connecting behind a university firewall.
Tnx in advance
