i hope this is in the right forum...if not, i do apologize (please move to the correct forum); but it is a networking question and not necessarily application-based (i think).

at work they are allowing some of us to be able to work from home over an SSH connection to RDP into our work PCs. most of my co-workers are Windows-based, use PuTTY and are successfully able to complete the connection; i am not and i was wondering if someone could help me look at my SSH command from the CLI? i have tried to use the PuTTY port; but the make file doesn't load correctly. i have also tried Fugu and come up with the same results.

my command looks like:

Code:
ssh -p 7022 serverName serverName- L4389:workPCip:3389 -l myUserName
if i read the man page & different help pages on the 'net correctly this is what is happening:

i'm opening up a connection to serverName on port 7022 (per my admin)
the connection is going to serverName with localport 4389 being forwarded to my workPC over 3389. i am sending the userName i was assigned for the server....does that sound about right?

when i run the command, i get either a broken pipe message or that the connection was reset by peer.

in the logging (run with -vvv), i see this: Miscellaneous failure
No credentials cache found

any ideas?

thanks!
some people are like slinkys: they don't do much, but are fun to push down stairs.
