Forwarding Remote Desktop

I require forwarding of a remote desktop because a pc with windows XP is in different network segment than my laptop. In between, there is a linux server which is accessible by both my laptop and that XP pc.

To enable a Remote Desktop Connection, first I must log in to the linux server using Putty.exe via ssh connection. Set tunnelling in putty like this,

L1234 192.168.200.10:3389

From my laptop, connect to XP pc with Windows Remote Desktop application to 127.0.0.1:1234


Note :
The key is not to configure using the same port number 3389. In this example, I use port 1234.
