Remote desktop web connection from behind a firewall - port 80
I would like to access my clients SBS 2003 server via terminal services. Whilst at home I use the normal TS client and this works fine.
However whilst doing my real job (the client is a customer of the business that I run at weekends) I am behind a firewall that I have no control over. I am only able to get port 80 access to the internet.
Is there a way in which I can connect to the mentioned server from behind a firewall. Does RD web client use just port 80 or are there other ports involved?
Any help would be appreicated

Jeff,
Well said - having re-read the question my answer referred to the server side, not the fact his client only had access to port 80.
Thanks for those links - I've learned something new (mapping local drives to remote desktop) myself from them. :-)

Ideally port 443 also needs to be open (for Secure HTTP). In addition Port 4125 needs to be open for "Remote Web Workplace".
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sbs/2003/plan/gsg/appx_c.mspx documents all relevant ports.
Hope that helps.
