[ale] rdesktop through a firewall?

[stillwaxin at gmail.com (Michael Still)]

since rdesktop uses tcp i wouldn't set up any forwarding the the
gateway closest to your client assuming its a plain old nat setup.  if
all else fails put some packet sniffers around in various places to
see where things are going wrong, starting with the xp "server".  i
would rather do this through an ssh session if i were doing it myself
tho.
