or is the forwarding of port 3389 the magic key to all of this..

Oh, and also, if you remove the port forwarding and it still works, that means windows is automatically forwarding the port through UPNP (a service which allows windows to request it's own port forwardings). If you can connect with it off, that means windows is effectively forwarding it's own port through your router and doing the same thing. See my above post for a more secure way to do this.

edit: In all actuality though it really doesn't matter anyways unless someone can guess your password or a security flaw was found in remote desktop. I keep mine on a different port anyways though because I'm paranoid.
