I have been using PuTTY/RDP to log into a windows 10 machine.

I use PuTTY to log into mydomain.com. Under "Connection/SSH/Tunnels" I have entered "localhost:3389" as the source port, and "myremotepc:3389" as the destination.

After I have logged in, I open up the Windows Remote Desktop Connection and enter "localhost" or "localhost:3389". I have entered the correct username "myname" or "MYLOCALPC\myname".

I get the error message: Remote Desktop Connection "Your computer could not connect to another console session on the remote computer because you already have a console session in progress".

Next I tried entering "127.0.0.2:3389" as the source port, and "myremotepc:3389" as the destination. I opened up Windows Remote Desktop and connected to 127.0.0.2. I now get the prompt for a user name and password, but when I enter the correct credentials I get "Your credentials did not work. The credentials that were used to connect to 127.0.0.2 did not work. Please enter new credentials"

Can anyone help me?

  • If I'm following your setup correctly, the username should be entered as myremotepc\myname instead of mylocalpc\myname

    I got this working by using myremotepc\myname, and entering another port as the source port - eg. 127.0.0.2:3390
