You can change the port remote desktop listens on and see if you can then access it that way

You can change the port for remote desktop to 53, that's for DNS and isn't normally blocked at offices.

Best Regards.

Hmm, are you running a DNS server on the Windows machine? Maybe its a conflict?

This may sound like a silly question but you never know :)

Are you changing the terminal server port through the registry or simply entering the port number in the RDP connection properties?

Both have to be changed.

That said though, why not simply configure the proxy to allow connection to port 3389?(I know that if you are asking here then you probably don't have access to that so disregard if that's the case).

Out of those 4 ports that you listed as open, your only hope (and it's probably being used internally within the office) is 8080.

Alternatively, you could use something like http://www.logmein.com or http://www.gotomypc.com (I AM NOT RECOMMENDING THESE... just simply letting you know about them)

Good luck!

I have this program called net tools 4. it includes a port/protocol redirection.

Im sure if you run this on your vps you can redirect the RDP port to an unused one.
