Hi, I have a windows XP box that I connect remotely all the time. Here 
is how. From my linux box, I forward local port 3389 via ssh to port 
3389 on the XP box inside the firewall. I then use rdesktop to connect 
to localhost which is forwarded through the tunnel to the XP box. I get 
a login screen, login and it all works fine.

I am trying to get a remote XP user into the same XP box. I had the user 
download putty and set up an ssh session with port forwarding to the 
remote XP box in question. He can definatly make it to the ssh server, 
as I can see him loged on to the server. He launches XP's remote destop 
connection client, which has been configured to operate in windows 98 
compatability mode. He then tries to connect to localhost, gets a login 
screen on the remote XP box, but can't login. I can login using the same 
user name and password that doesn't work for him.

I even established an account with user name test and password test to 
try and eliminate typing problems. I can get in from my linux box and he 
still can't get in from his XP box.

Any ideas appreciated.

It's sort of ironic that a linux box can connect to an XP box, but an XP 
box can't.
