Here's a little gem I was told today.
Trying to use your remote desktop connection over the internet, but having problems with ports being blocked (i.e. because of a firewall at work, trying to reach your home machine)???
Then edit this section of the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
Find the portnumber value, and click decimal. Change it whatever you like (80 and 8080 are usually unblocked on firewalls for http access on remote web servers...)
I didn't have to restart the service.
This only works in XP professional or in Windows 2000 Server with the Terminal services installed.
