SSH tunneling - I should have clarified
UPDATE on 10/28/06: The Remote Desktop Connection tool works the best for my situation. Problem solved!
You guys are right - when I disconnect or log off, I can immediately reconnect with the Windows XP box. It didn't seem to behave this way when I was trying Windows 2000 connecting to a Windows XP machine. :(
----------------------------------------
Sorry guys.I posted earlier about SSH and tunneling to create a VPN, but I should explain the situation.
Basically I have a Mac Pro server and I want it to SECURELY connect to a Windows XP machine via VNC (or any other remote connection tools?). I know that a VNC application exists for the Mac OS. I need it to be secure since I know that VNC is not secure and not encrypted. This remote Windows XP machine is on 24/7.
I found OpenSSH to be able to create a SSH server on a Windows machine, so that is why I was wondering if there was a secure way of tunneling the Mac and the Windows and encrypting traffic between them.
Hope this explains the situation better.
