Re: [rdesktop-users] Non-standard RDP port

[Beaumont, K. <Kev...@pr...>]

We use them.  But we PXE boot (Settings -> Boot on the HP interface, change
to Network).  We have Thinstation (thinstation.sf.net) deployed as the PXE
image.  This supports rdesktop, but also gives us a centrally managed OS for
the thin clients.  Another option is 2X ThinClientServer (www.2x.com
<http://www.2x.com/> ), which is a superb (commercially owned) thin client
OS.

 

They're great devices.  Insight have an offer at the minute where they come
with a 19" TFT monitor, priced under about $300 (for the bundle).

Hi, thanks for the prompt answer.  Great to hear that rdesktop supports the
port option.  

Have you (or anyone on the list) tried using this with a thin client device
such as the HP T5135?  We've not used this device before, but the Windows
CE-based devices that we have used don't support this (they will only
connect to port 3389).

Thanks again,
Damian.

Hi, 

you can run rdesktop with host:port as a option. 
for example: 

rdesktop server.fff.co.nz:20001 

Hope this help.

Hi there, 

We're planning on providing a virtual desktop service to a client who will
have a number of HP T5135 thin clients.  Connection will be via rdesktop,
which is embedded on the T5135. 

The virtual server will be behind a firewall and we'll only have one
external IP address that we can use.  We would like to use NAT on the
firewall to direct incoming connections to each virtual workstation by
specifying a port number for the incoming connection.  The virtual
workstations will run XP and will have unique IP addresses.  RDP will run on
the default port of 3389. 

This means, for example, that the firewall will NAT incoming connections as
follows: 

*CONNECTION TO                        MAPPED TO* 
server.fff.co.nz:20001    -->     192.168.1.10:3389 
server.fff.co.nz:20002    -->     192.168.1.11:3389 
server.fff.co.nz:20003    -->     192.168.1.12:3389 

Does anyone know if rdesktop supports the specification of port number in
the manner?  Specifically has anyone tried using rdesktop on a device such
as the T5135 to specify the RDP port number in this way? 

Thanks in advance, 
Damian.
