Have you changed the port on the client at work as well?

Can you ping you home PC from work, using port 80?

Sorry, I wasn't thinking. I meant:
* can you ping your home pc from work?
* can you telnet to port 80?

I have been hacked on an unsecure network, through the use of term server. I
went into the registry on a rebuilt w2003 server machine and set the port to
xxxx, when i go and try to connect using remote desktop on xp pro, I get an
error stating The server name cannot contain the following characters,
spaces...: ;, etc. How do I set it up to go to a different port if I cannot
use the colon.
