On my XP computer I have it set up to allow me to connect to a
different pc using mstsc through an SSH tunnel. The tunnel is set up
using puTTY, and forwards port 3390 on the source pc to port 3389 on
the destination pc. To connect I enter localhost:3390 as the
connection address.
I've just upgraded to windows 7 pro, and this no longer works. From
googling I've learned that mstsc in windows 7 does not allow a
connection to localhost (or 127.0.0.1); is this a bug? Is there a fix
or a way around it?

Try another destination port in Putty.

example: 192.168.1.1:90
then connect to localhost:90

this should work
