Well, I'm not exactly sure what you are asking here. Can you please be a little more specific.
Are you using a port 3389?
What software are your firends using to connect?
What error are you getting exactly?

port 3389 is for RDP, remote desktop. only 1 person can log into your machine at the same time. . . i think. pcAnywhere can have more than 1 logged in. maybe you should look into some other methods like VPN.

i know that"not for only one",because i have seen that in another computer.

to mikesgroovin:

from microsoft:

Q. The local computer screen locks when a user is connected remotely. How can I get more than one connection to a computer running Windows XP Professional?

A. If you want to have more than one person simultaneously use a computer running Windows XP Professional, you could try Remote Assistance for collaboration and support scenarios. Windows 2000 Server with Terminal Services allows multiple users, as will Windows Server 2003, when it becomes available

================================
Q. What port does Remote Desktop use? Does everything go over port 3389?

A. Port 3389 is the only port you need to open. Sound will attempt to be streamed through User Datagram Protocol (UDP) first. If no port is available for UDP, sound will stream through a virtual channel in Remote Desktop Protocol, which uses port 3389.
