Re: Wierd RDC problemm

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.
