Why cannot i change RDP port from 3389 to 33891 ?
At the same LAN, i can RDP log onto the PC with by default port3389. After i change the port number from 3389 to 33891 in registry,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
i found it cannot take effect. 3389 is still work, and 33891 do not work. Anyone can do me favor ? Thank you

When you change the port number, are you sure you are entering 33891 with "Decimal" selected in registry editor? Otherwise, 33891 in hex would be 211089 in decimal which is an invalid port number.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, it is 33891 in decimal (8463 in hex)

I made the change on Win 2008 server, and try to log onto the server from client PC (Win 7).
When i typed the server info 10.10.10.10:33891 in remote desktop connection, it show "Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons: 1) Remote access to the server is not enable. 2) the remote computer is turn off 3) .............." but i can still log onto the server through 3389, not 33891

Yes, you have to restart the service so that the change of RDP port takes effect. Some times, we must accept what we can't change some stuff by our selves, unless Bill is our best friend.
By the way, DaveBaldwin also provided you with a working solution.
Cheers,
