By design, port forwarding only allows you to forward a port number or port range to a single IP address. If you want to host the same service on more then one host, you need to change the listening port of the service. 

So if you want to be able to host 2 Remote Desktop sessions and be able to access them both from the Internet, you are going to have to change the listen port (3389) to a different port like 3388 on the 2nd PC.

This is done through the Registry. While some of these things are not for beginners, it really is not that hard.

Assuming your using Windows XP, follow this article to change the RDP port on your 2nd PC.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306759

If your using Windows Vista or Windows 7, just Google, &quot;change Remote Desktop port&quot; to find your operating systems Registry entry point.

Once you change the port on the 2nd PC, you set it up the same way you did the first one with the only difference being the port number you forward to and the PC IP address in the Linksys router. Nothing changes for the original settings you did for the 1st PC.

Then in your client that you using to access the remote session, you would have to specify the port after the IP address like this.

Example:  75.202.80.55:3388

One more question. I setup the RDC on my PC with inrnal IP of 192.168.1.XYZ and it is woring fine. In my router control panel I'm forwaridng port 3389 to 192.168.1.XYZ. 

Now, I have another computer on the same network with the IP address of 192.168.1.abc. How can I setup so that I have the ability to connect to this computer too (without loosing the connection to the first one). The thing that I don't undrestand is that do I need to setup another forward and if so, how will it know which computer to forward to if I'm entering same IP address in my remote location? 

Thanks in advance.

Look at your Port Forwarding rule in the V-Portal. The IP is 192.168.15.0 

A .0 4th Octet is a Network address not the IP address of an individual host. Your not sending the 3389 traffic anywhere. 

Click on the Status link in your Linksys router. Looks for Internet or WAN Connection. You will see an IP address of 192.168.15.x. Where the x is would be real 4th Octet that would replace the 0 in your port forwarding rule in the V-Portal. This is the IP address that the V-Portal needs to forward to.

To make it simple to understand, what you doing is passing traffic from one side of a router to another. So when you have 1 router, this is simple. You would port forward directly to the IP of the computer like you did in your Linksys. However when you have 2 or more routers, you have to relay traffic from one router to another to get it back to the hosting computer.

So in your case, the Internet passes the traffic to the Public IP on the WAN port of the V-Portal. You then have to translate this traffic back to the WAN port of the Linksys on port 3389 which can then translate the traffic back to your computer hosting the Remote Desktop session on port 3389.

I'm sorry but I'm not a network savvy person. You mentioned about WAN port in my linksys router. I'm not sure where to setup the WAN. Is this same as Static DNS? 
I attached a screenshot of my V-portal (that shows port forwarding) and linksys page for more info.

I really appreciate your help.

<title>Trying to use Netgear WGT624v3 as WAP with Linksys RT31P2</title>
<link>http://www.vonage-forum.com/ftopic24852.html</link>

Yes you can just use the Netgear as a WAP by going from Linksys LAN to Netgear LAN. All you need to do is set up the Netgear LAN IP to be on the same subnet as the Linksys.

IP: 192.168.15.x
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default GW: 192.168.15.1
DNS1: Your ISP DNS servers, Open DNS servers such as 4.2.2.1
DNS2: Your ISP DNS servers, Open DNS servers such as 4.2.2.2

DNS not really important here since you will still be communicating with the RT31P2 for DHCP. Having the correct IP, Subnet, and GW will allow the wireless portion of the router to communicate on the same LAN as the RT31P2. This will allow traffic between a wirelesss client and the RT31P2.

The other method is to connect the Netgear's WAN port to the Linksys LAN port. The Netgear would then get all it's information from the RT31P2 automatically. All you would need to do is set up the wireless portion by connecting a computer to the Netgear for a 1 time wireless setup.

And if this setup is too cumbersome, what is the best way to set up wireless home network and still use Vonage?

Ok, so you are saying that I can plug a laptop into a lan port on the netgear, configure it, and then I'll be able to connect netgear lan into linksys lan and use as a WAP?

If your saying you connected one of the LAN ports of the RT31P2 to a LAN port on the Netgear, you wont be able to access it. Your computer is getting an IP address of 192.168.15.x through the RT31P2's DHCP server. The Netgear operates on 192.168.0.1 so this is a separate network and would not be accessible from a PC that has an IP of 192.168.15.x

Even if you connected the Netgear's WAN port to a LAN port on the RT31P2, it would still not be accessible this way. To access the Netgear via 192.168.0.1, you would need to have a computer plugged into one of it's LAN ports. Then you can configure it the way you want and also enable it's Remote Admin page. This would allow you to access it via it's WAN IP of 192.168.15.x from a computer connected to the RT31P2.

1) When you logged into the V-Portal and configured port forwarding, to what IP address did you configure this for? This must be the IP that your Linksys router has on it's WAN port.

With that said, you should make sure that the WAN port of the Linksys router has a static IP (192.168.15.2).

You also said you tested this from a laptop. Was this laptop on the same local network as the PC hosting the connection or were you using the internet from somewhere else?

 For connection type issues like this, you should first confirm you can connect to the Remote Desktop from a computer on the same local area network by using the IP address of the PC host the connection. If this works you know your Remote Desktop is set up properly and can accept connections. If you cannot connect locally, then there is no need to start trouble shooting the routers and port forwarding as you first need to figure out what is happening on the PC hosting the Remote Desktop.

If you can connect locally but cannot connect from a remote location, make sure your trying to connect to the correct Public IP address. If your sure you are, remove the V-Portal from the picture and place your Linksys router directly to the modem and put the V-Portal behind your Linksys router. Then try again. If you can connect at this point from a remote location, then the V-Portal would be the culprit.
