SSH Server on DD-WRT

My network is setup like so: Cable Modem-->Router-->Switch-->Server, Main Rig, & Laptop. I recently setup an SSH server on my Main Rig as a way to way securely access my machine from remote spots but it would really be slow when connecting to my server because I would have to first remote desktop to my main rig and then to my server. I wanted to centralize my SSH setup so I setup an SSH server on my router through DD-WRT. From my remote location using Putty I can logon to the router via SSH without a problem. I am wondering on how I can get remote desktop traffic to forward through the tunnel so I can access either my server or main rig? This is probably confusing but I really appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Dan
 
Just a question.

Why don't you just setup different ports to forward to each SSH server?
 
Well I mostly access my system from school which blocks pretty much every port except 443 & 80. My teacher does not care that I do this because I usually am working on my server so I can familiarize myself with the material. I thought this way I could centralize my setup but I think I might be better off setting up a VPN or something even though I have never done that.
 
RDC runs on port 3389, so assuming you have it running on your server at home... Setup your SSH tunnels in the putty configuration. Since mstsc doesn't allow loopback connections you'll have to do it a bit differently than say if you were using VNC. For the source port use 127.0.0.2:3389. Destination port should be "servers internal ip:3389" Once you establish your ssh session connect to 127.0.0.2 from the RDC client.
 
That worked, the key was the adding the internal ip :)! Thanks man I appreciate it!
 
Is there anyway I can use the internal SSH client in Linux to do what I did here with Putty? If so how can I?

Thanks
