Information regarding blocked ports on AT&Ts US data network

[bengalih]

Hello,

Was wondering if anyone is aware of what exactly AT&T's policies are regarding their data network.

I am having a problem using Remote Desktop on my Tilt to access a remote PC.

By default Remote Desktop/Terminal services uses port 3389.
I have a machine configured to use an alternate port.

I can use remote desktop without a problem on the data connection when connecting to servers using 3390, but not when using my alternate port.

I don't have any problems connecting to either when using my Wi-Fi connection on my home network.

It appears that AT&T is blocking this port.

Perhaps they are blocking most ports and only allowing those used for standard services?

I don't find this acceptable and will probably call them about this, but I don't know if there is anything that they can or will do. I was wondering if anyone else had experience with this.

thanks.

so you are saying you found a way to tether with tethering being on your plan?

This has nothing to do with tethering.

I am using Remote Desktop Mobile on my Tilt to attempt to access a Terminal Server running on a port other than 3389.

Over Wi-fi I have no problem, under MEdia Net I cannot connect.

If I try to connect to a terminal server over port 3390, I have no issues.
