rdesktop
 

Ok. Having a few problems with rdesktop.
Im running windows xp home edition service pack 2 and my laptop is connected thru LAN.
My n800 is on OS2008 and connected to my laptop thru a usb wireless adapter.

1. which ip should i put in rdp server? my wireless adapter or the LAN's?
2. after i insert the ip and press ok, rdesktop just *poof* dissappears..
Why? :confused:

Re: rdesktop
 

xp home (you need xp pro) dosn't do remote desktop, at least not properly. I would suggest you use vnc viewer.

Re: rdesktop
 

no wonder.. so for home ed, i must use vnc viewer oni?
no other ways than that?
thanks. :)

First link that comes up when you google for rdp on winxp home.

Also make sure that your XP firewall allows connections.

Would love to hear if you get it to work. So far I have not. I have Win 2000 and Win2003 servers that I have tried to connect to with the same results, rdesktop just goes away when I hit connect.

Thanks
