Remote Desktop on SSH tunnel

[Alberto Ferrari]

I'm trying to establish a remote desktop session trough a
SSH tunnel I enable the port 3389 to be forwarded and
locally I connect to the port 2500 so when I try the
connection with my pc which have windows XP professional I
got an error like
"The Client Could not connect. You are alreary connected
to the console of thi computer. A new console session
cannot be established".

When I try from another PC which have Win2k it works fine.
Best Regards,
Alberto

Use putty to do the port forwarding and connect on the local machine to
127.0.0.2:2500. The RD client in XP doesn't like being connected to
127.0.0.1 or localhost (which are the same thing) but does not complain when
using 127.0.0.2. The latest version of putty is required for this IIRC.

Alberto -
Please take a look at my website http://www.wissh.com for two things:
On the technology page, it will explain what is going wrong, and two,
you can download the client I wrote to get around this problem.

Hope this helps,
