RDP Separate Ports on Separate NICs
I have two NICs on different networks and I'd like Terminal Services to listen on different ports. NIC 1: 192.168.0.10 on Port 3389 NIC 2: 10.10.1.10 on Port 53000 Is this possible? If not with windows itself, any third party software? Thanks.

I do not think it is possible. Basically only for one NIC for one specified route. Although you configure two NICs for one routes and in routing table you will see that, only the one at top works, others are all backups.

I'm not following you. I have no problem with routing. I just want to have different ports for RDP over two different IP/NIC or do some NAT. Now it's working with both ip but on the same port. This is my current IP Config: NIC1 IP: 192.168.0.10 MK: 255.255.255.0 GW: 192.168.0.1 NIC2 IP: 10.10.1.10 MK: 255.255.0.0 GW: N/A

So your computer connects to two local area networks. Is that correct? If so, I agree that remote connections from different networks will connect to the proper NIC. However we are not able to create two listing ports for Remote Desktop.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Hi, No tools helps on this. You can however try to manually configure the RDP server. Please refer: Changing Windows Remote Desktop Port (RDP) IT Solutions Knowledge Base Important Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information. You can create second port for RDP. Then you may try to configure Windows Firewall inbound settings to only allow connections from 192.168.0.0 or 10.0.0.0 to use 3389 port or the new created port.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
