Remote Desktop Setup to Multiple Pc's

Using XP pro, I've installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop between home and
office. At my office, I have a Linksys wrt54gs wireless router installed with
port 3389 forwarded to the static imp on my Pc at work. It works fine.

Now, how do I setup a remote connection to other Pc's in my office so I can
connect to any Pc I need to? I'm assuming I need to change the remote desktop
port on each of PC to its own specific port other than 3389, but is this the
solution and where do I do it while keeping the network secure?

I'm using a dynamic dns connection now. How would I make the connection to
each additional Pc from home?

My office is using an SBC DSL connection, home is cable internet.

Thanks, TG

Change the listening ports on each of the PCs and forward appropriate ports
is one way...
Another is to remote into your PC and then remote to the private IPs from
your work PC (if you are the only one neededing to do this..)
You could also get a better router with VPN as a feature and setup a VPN so
you connect to VPN and are in the private network then...

There are other ways as well. Google/Google Groups search...

As noted by Shenan a VPN or Secure Shell (SSH) tunnel can also be used to
access multiple Remote Desktop sessions by only opening one hole on the
router.

SSH is pretty easy to setup and its very secure. Basically you need one PC
to act as a SSH server. I suggest copSSH as the server package of choice...

For a good RDP over SSH client, give WiSSH (http://www.wissh.com) a
try. Makes things easier to work with on the client end.
