Wierd RDC problemm

[Scott Phelps]

My work pc A has RDC client working fine... I can connect to it via my ssh
tunnel just fine with laptop B... Using the same setup (putty) with pc C I
can connect to the ssh tunnel and do otherthing such as ftp tunneling... but
I can't RDC. But I can RDC from C to B with no tunnel just fine.

When I put in localhost:8888 (8888 is the ssh port that gets tunneled) I get
The client could not etablish a connection to the remote computer the most
likey causes are.... right away...

But I have verfied that putty is listening on port 8888..

I have xp pro sp2.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You might look at installing this loopback patch for XP SP2 on PC C. Perhaps
that is the issue..

Otherwise make you configured PuTTY to forward port 8888 to 3389 as
illustrated here. In the example shown I am forwarding source port 3391 to
Norman port 3389. You would need to use a source port of 8888.

Are you using a computer name or an IP address. In my case I have a local
"C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" file on my laptop that maps the
computer names to their local IP addresses on my home LAN.
