Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but 2000/XP has a registry setting to change the terminal server port.
[KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control \Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp]
dword value = PortNumber
You can change the port number to any port that you like. With the windows 2000 adminpak you can export a current connection setting and edit the port# with wordpad or another text editing program ( I use UltraEdit32 myself), save and import it back in again
XP has made it a little trickier with thier .rdp connection settings, but it is possible by editing it and adding the following line.
server port:i:3389 (3389 being the default port)
save as .rdp and walla.
This is really useful for remote administration when you are stuck behind a firewall that you have no control over, county controls mine.
