The port used is 3389 TCP

not only that but port 80 aswell. if you are also using
ICF on Win XP, you'll have to right click on your
connection, select the advance tab where the turn on and
off firewall is select settings and make sure you check
the remote access sections.

No, Port 80 is not required for Remote Desktop...

Port 80 is if you want to use the Web Client and this is only
recommended if you absolutely need it since it involves another
component (IIS) you must keep secure.
