Remote Desktop Connection with PuTTY
First, Install the latest version of PuTTY.
Launch PuTTY. You will see The PuTTY configuration screen.
Fill in the fields exactly as shown. You will be making an SSH connection to roma.affymetrix.com on port 22. You should add descriptive a name for this session. You can see that I named this session "work".
Next, click on the Tunnels category on the left side of the display and enter the tunnel information as shown above.
Click the Add button, and the information will appear in the Forwarded ports field.
Now, click on the Session category, and SAVE your session with the new tunnel settings.
Click Open and log in to roma.affymetrix.com with your username and password. This will establish a secure, encrypted tunnel from your home machine to your desktop at work.
Once you have successfully logged into roma.affymetrix.com, we are done with PuTTY, you can now MINIMIZE the application. Do not CLOSE it, or the tunnel will be broken and the next step will not work.
Launch Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> Remote Desktop Connection. Type in the address as shown above and click connect. Your work desktop should appear on your home computer! If this does not immediately work, try 127.0.0.2:3390.
Note that you can click the Options button and save this Remote Desktop session information to your desktop.
