samba - Apr 2002 - samba ports blocked by isp

Is it possible to map a drive to a samba share over the internet,
through an isp that blocks the samba ports...
I know with samba, I can specify a port, but what about a windows
client?
Can I change what port a windows machine looks to for samba/smb for a
particular share only?

You really don;t want to do this.  It is **so** insecure.
Setup a VPN it is it necessary to share files using CIFS
across the 'Net.
