Remote Desktop via SSH and error message

Remote Desktop and SSH for the home user

I tried to configure SSH server (let us call this PC : Server PC) and putty (let us call this PC: Client PC) exactly as described in the link above (step by step).

I have got two PC with XP Profe OS,,,,one PC (Where SSH server is installed) is on cable modem and other PC (where PUTTY is installed ) is on dialup.

I was able to establish a SSH Tunnel but I could not access RDP,,,,I do not know where was the problem.

Port forwarding is okay no problem otherwise I would not be able to establish SSH tunned

from PC where PUTTY is installed (let us call it Client PC) when I tried to type in the ip address (for the PC where SSH server is installed let us call it Server PC) with source port number (for Client PC) I received the below error message :

Do you have the remote desktop box enabled on the machine you are trying to access?

Yes I did have that.

As I have been advised , I did try 127.0.0.1:3390 and it did work.

Although I did try 127.0.0.2:3390 it did not work

Then after the advice and through google I found this
Windows Remote Desktop

Start your Remote Desktop program as usual. Instead of entering the name of the computer that you want to connect to, you must type in the address and port that Putty is forwarding to. Depending on your operating system, this may be different from what is shown in the example:

• Windows XP: 127.0.0.2
• Other Windows Platforms: 127.0.0.1
