I am hoping to provide multiple concurrent remote desktop connections to my office LAN. I understand that I can associate different connections by using additional ports eg. 3390, 3391 by enabling these ports and appending the computer name with :3391 etc. I have had a look at the registry changes needed but can't see how I can enable multiple listening ports, rather, just change the default. Is it possible to do what I'm trying and if so, any advice?

Thanks for reading this.
 
If you're trying to enable multiple RDP connections to a single machine, that single machine needs to be a Windows Terminal Server.

If you're trying to enable multiple RDP connections to multiple machines (1 connection per machine), then you need to configure each machine to listen on a different port and configure your router to forward those ports to the appropriate machines.
