but if the port is changed then you need to provide your IP address and the port like this ip:port for exmp: 98.34.87.2:5563
on a windows server press win+r and to open run and then type mstsc. when the new window opens type your ip.
if all the configurations are right including firewalls and anti-viruses on both sides then you sould be prompted to provide login credentials which is a username and password given to you by your admin
after typing the info you should see a certificate warning window and click on accept to connect to server
if you received an error during these steps then you need to check your connection to the server by ping or tracert and if the connection was ok then you should check ports and isp or os filters that could interfere with the connection
