Since you have changed the listening port, I can only assume you are
connecting to that port.
Also, you have rebooted the machine after making your registry changes?

To be sure, try the command line like the following example (Start -> Run):

MSTSC /v:<ip address>:port

For example: MSTSC /v:192.168.0.150:80

Of course, your external IP will be different, since 192.168 is an internal
only IP.

You may want to get the newest (I believe - correct me if I am wrong here)
