How to Remote Desktop Two PC's Behind Linksys BEFSX41 Router?
I have two desktops running Windows XP Pro behind a Linksys BEFSX41 Firewall Router. I would like to remote desktop into both of these pc's from the wan. I have port 3389 forwarded and it allows me to remote into the pc specified so I know my remote is working.... how do I allow for a second remote pc on port 3389 or another port?

So only thing I can think of is that I need to open up something in XP... am I thinking right?
