This post is not specific to Windows XP 64 bit ...
but both machines involved are running this os.
Please read on.

1. At work, I have a Windows box which I am
trying to acces remotely. For a complicated
set of reasons, the only port I can use is 1025.

2. I know how to edit the registry to change
from the standard port (3389) to another port,
and I know how to use a Remote Desktop client
to access a machine which has been configured
to use another port.

3. BUT, Windows apparently reserves port 1025
for another process and won't allow it to be used
for Remote Desktop.

4. So can anybody tell me which process uses port
1025 and whether it is possible to edit the registry
twice, once to switch the second process to use another
port and then again to switch Remote Desktop
to port 1025.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

It seems to be used by a number of processes one specific is logging on to
Active Directory.

Doesn't answer your question directly but it just seems like a free
miscellaneous port.
