I want to be able to remote desktop into my XP Pro SP2 machine at work. We only have one Fedora machine on the LAN that can be accessed outside the LAN, I have the IP for this machine, and know the internal IP for my work computer, I also have a sudo account on the Fedora machine.
What I'd like to do is ssh into the Fedora machine, and modify the iptables to forward incoming traffic on port 9999 to my work computer on port 3389 (Windows Remote Desktop port). The idea being that I could then use terminal server client against the Fedora machines internet IP on port 9999 and have it bring up my desktop at work. Then when I'm done just remove the modification to iptables to close the hole. The only part of this plan I don't know how to accomplish is step 2. I've made several attempts but can't seem to figure out the correct iptables command. Is what I'm trying to do possible? Is iptables the right tool for the job here? -- John D.
