Does anyone know how to, or if, the port for the Remote
Desktop Web Connection ActiveX control can be changed?

In order to enable unrestricted third party firewall
traversing for inbound connections from the internet, I
would like to enable connectivity to terminal services on
alternate, and generally open ports (80 or 443), rather
than the default 3389. In a test environment, I have
changed the pertinent settings on a W2K Terminal Server
(HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal
Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp), and can connect to it
successfully using the Remote Desktop Connection client
(Hostname:AlternatePort), but have not found a way to
connect with the ActiveX control using an alternate port.

As this is a configurable setting on the server side, one
would expect that all clients would have this capability
as well.

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=187623

states:
NOTE: The Terminal Server ActiveX client listens on TCP port 3389
and this cannot be changed. The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
client that is available in Microsoft Windows XP and Windows .NET
(version 5.1 and later) has this ability.
