Remote Desktop Connection through firewall

[vasal]

I want to remotely control my pc at office (connected on a DSL line) which
is behind a router which does port forwarding on port 400 to my pc.

Can I use Remote Desktop Connection through port 400?
If not, is there any alternative?

Thanx,
Vasilis

You can by changing registry settings for the work machine and manually
modifying the connection settings on the client machine. Here is a KB
article that describes the changes that need to be made:
