Problem

There is a remote Windows server on a private network which I can connect to via Remote Desktop Connection. I would like to be able to make TCP/IP connections from my computer to other computers on that server's network. Remote Desktop Connection makes it possible to share printers, drives, and other local resources through the connection. Is there any way to "tunnel" a TCP/IP connection via RDC? I'd like something similar to the port-forwarding provided by SSH. I don't see any way to do this via RDC, but I'm hoping the capability is there and I just don't know about it.

Fix for: Tunneling a TCP/IP Connection through Remote Desktop Connection

Low Risk

If you are running rdesktop on the client-side (instead of the native Windows client), you can use rdp2tcp. It allows you to manage TCP ports forwarding through a RDP connection.
