Connect to a specific network port
If your Windows-based computer has been configured to accept Remote Desktop
connections on a specific network port, you must specify the network port when
you connect.
- Open Remote Desktop Connection on your Macintosh computer.
- In Computer, type the computer name or IP address of the Windows-based
computer you want to connect to, and then type a colon (:), followed by the network port number.
For example, if the network port number is 1234, you would enter MyPC:1234
or 192.168.255.255:1234.
- Click Options, and set the connection options you want (such as screen size, automatic logon information, and performance options). You cannot change these options while you are connected
to the Windows-based computer.
- Click Connect.
- Type your user name, password, and domain (if required).
