Hello,

I am using MS Remote Desktop Connection to connect two
Windows XP boxes. Works fine, no problems there.

I wonder if it is possible to forward arbitrary ports through the RDC.
That would be preferable to opening the ports in the firewall on each
box. I looked in the options dialog box for RDC and searched the
RDC help pages but came up empty-handed.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this problem.

No, this isn't possible. RD is simply a terminal connection.
