Here's one of the more bizarre reasons why 4125 might not be available. I've
seen Exchange take over ports in SBS2k, but not in SBS2k3. This KB says it
can happen:

Here's another one I haven't experienced.
<snip>
Windows XP SP2 has a pop-up blocker which may block the Web RDP session. In
Internet Explorer on the workstation you are connecting from, go to Tools,
Internet Options, then click on the Privacy tab, remove the check for Block
pop-ups. Close and reopen IE and check if you can connect now. If you have
third party popup blocking software installed, disable it.
