assuming what you just said was not a typo or error in communcication I'm
going to say no. Following the guide I changed the default RDWC TCP port from
80 to 916. When I tried telnet I tried both just the public IP address of my
company which asked for password, and the specific port I assigned appended
to the public IP which returned the "could not connect to host on port 23:
connection failed". I'm using telnet via the start > Run command, and using
the 'O' option to open connection to IP. Is this correct or is my lack of
experience causing a problem?
