Well poop.

Try the -vv option with ssh, and see if it tells you anything useful
when you try to rdesktop.

Also run netstat -an| grep LISTEN on the Linux box to verify that is
indeed listening to 3390 or 3389 when issuing the ssh command.

Oh... one thing you may need to check is whether windows firewall is
eating things. Do you have a hardware firewall such that you can
safely drop windows firewall for testing?
