Any mention of Windows XP bellow is Professional, not Home.
Previous to moving to windows XP on my work desktop I was able to use SSH to redirect ports to systems at a remote location. I would then create an RDP connection profile that connected to localhost (also tried 127.0.0.1 and the actual IP address of the NIC) on the forwarded port and be connected to the remote host.
example:
client A redirects port 3390, via ssh to server B, to server C on port 3389.
When using windows XP I now get the following message:
"The client could not connect. You are already connected to the console of this computer. A new console session cannot be established."
I've tried all the combinations I can come up with, and it definitely appears that the client is looking at the host without paying attention to tha alternate port setting.
I have attempted to turn off the remote desktop access on my machine and this has no effect. I even just recently discovered that XP contains a "sessionname" variable that is set to "console". I attempted to change that value, without any luck.
Anyone have any ideas, or run into this before?
Thanks for your help.
