When attempting to connect via ssh -L 3389 etc etc does the

No, the connection is tunneled over 22 and you end up with the local
host listening for a connection on port 3389.
You only need to allow 22 through the firewall. If you have something
like zone alarm on you may need to allow 3389 locally - turn off the
firewall to debug.
The other thing I had problems with Peter is the password/keys
I could generate the keys ok but could not find a file authorized-
keys to
copy them into. Where is this supposed to be ? in home\ssh or
in \etc
In \home\john\.ssh where john is your username. Note the period
before ssh - this specifies a hidden directory. authorized_hosts
should be created in there the first time you connect using ssh -
connecting to localhost will do it.
If not, just $ touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
cheers,
Peter.
