If that works, then you need to use a different port for the second workstation. Since 3389 is the default port for Terminal Services, you may want to troubleshoot by creating only one port forwarding rule to one workstation using the default port of 3389. I'm sure you know that since you have two workstations, each instance of Terminal Services port forwarding on your router needs to use a different port.
