Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I have several Windows
XP pro machines on a Win 2003 network of which i want to be able to remote
into. For that reason, I changed the default listening port for one of the
machines to 23389 using the registry changes outlined in the Microsoft article

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306759

I was previously able to connect to this particular machine simply typing
the IP address. Now, when i attempt IPAddress:23389, it will not connect,
nor will it connect using simply the IP address. I have verified that the
box to allow remote connection is checked, so I'm really out of ideas as to
what the problem is. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

In addition to Rory's advice make sure you reboot the PC after making the registry change for the new listening port.
