Hello,

You've simply configured the port via the network, but the default port for RDP is 3389. If you wish to use port 1388, ensure you make the corresponding change on your PC. We recommend modifying it through the registry:

1. Nevigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
2. change "PortNumber" to what you want (1388), take care of hexdecimal and decimal.
3. restart rdp service or reboot your machine.

If it fails to work, you may inspect your network settings on your portal, such as NSG or any other relevant configurations.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind Regards,
Karlie Weng
