I have a fun problem - I am using SSH to tunnel from an MBP to a windows server (2000). i have port 22 open on the firewall, and i can establish the ssh telnet session succesfully. The weird thing is that RDC won't tunnel over this connection unless 3389 is also open on the firewall.
i get an error on the command prompt from the server that the connection was refused. (ssh -L 5900:server.com:3389 user@server.com)
it's a little weird. i can only imagine that the router (verizon fios) is blocking 3389 on the local network when the connection originates from outside. But I can't find settings to that effect.
so, i can tunnel over port 22 with ssh, but only if port 3389 is open....that's not what i want, obviously.
