Re: Newbie: Using rdesktop and port forwarding

I use an ssl tunnel for this.  Create a tunnel from your local machine 
to a machine and port inside the firewall via ssh:

ssh -L 3389:192.168.10.121:3389 <username>@<firewall ip name>

Then do :
rdesktop localhost

Should work and also be fast.  I can't tell the difference between being 
there and being outside, but my internet connection is pretty good.
