See the guide to change default Remote Desktop Terminal Services listening port, and how to connect using non-default port in Remote Desktop Connection. By default, Remote Desktop listens and connects on port 3389. The hack is especially useful in Windows XP SP2 and SP3 where 127.0.0.2 forwarding IP address for localhost connection no longer work. Workaround 2: Connect to RDC Terminal Services at Different Non Standard PortĪnother workaround to the blockage of local host Remote Desktop connection in Windows is to connect to localhost (127.0.0.1) address on another port other than the default (3389). 127.0.0.2 is the internal TCP/IP loopback address and Remote Desktop prior to version SP2 allow connection through the loopback 127.0.0.2 IP address, although it actively blocks connection via 127.0.0.1 or localhost string. The trick works in Windows XP Professional and Media Center Edition (MCE) prior to Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), and may also works in Windows 7 or later OSes.
