Thanks James. This system is a windows 2000 pro system not on a domain. There are no policies in place. I will run more scans looking for nonsense in the background. The registry reflects the same port misconfiguration.

If the machine's on a domain, you may want to check that someone hasn't set up a "policy" that's overriding the port number. You may also want to run a virus checker on the system, to ensure that there's nothing tampering with settings maliciously. Have you verified that the Service-Mode configuration in the registry includes the bogus port number?
