Please help RDesktop on other networks.

I have able to Rdesktop from my own network flawlessly. As long as I am on my home WiFi and my computer is plugged in to the modem, I am fine.

But when I try to do it via PAM (phone as modem), or a friends Wireless network on my N810 I cannot.

I use both the commands "rdesktop" and "rdesktop --sync"

I get this.

Code:

Autoselected keyboard map en-us

rdesktop[9355]: GLIB WARNING ** Gtk - gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -24 and height 0

rdesktop[9355]: GLIB WARNING ** GLib-GObject - IA__g_object_set_valist: object class `GtkEntry' has no property named `autocap'

rdesktop[9355]: GLIB WARNING ** GLib-GObject - IA__g_object_set_valist: object class `GtkEntry' has no property named `autocap'

rdesktop[9355]: GLIB WARNING ** GLib-GObject - IA__g_object_set_valist: object class `GtkEntry' has no property named `autocap'

rdesktop[9355]: GLIB WARNING ** GLib-GObject - IA__g_object_set_valist: object class `GtkEntry' has no property named `autocap'

share name MMC_Int: truncated to MMC_Int

share name MMC_Ext: truncated to MMC_Ext

And then I either have to kill xterm and rdesktop or it says "rdesktop not responding. please close"

Re: Please help RDesktop on other networks.

Here is an example of when I am on my own network and it works.

Code:

Autoselected keyboard map en-us

rdesktop[21500]: GLIB WARNING ** Gtk - gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -24 and height 0

rdesktop[21500]: GLIB WARNING ** GLib-GObject - IA__g_object_set_valist: object class `GtkEntry' has no property named `autocap'

rdesktop[21500]: GLIB WARNING ** GLib-GObject - IA__g_object_set_valist: object class `GtkEntry' has no property named `autocap'

rdesktop[21500]: GLIB WARNING ** GLib-GObject - IA__g_object_set_valist: object class `GtkEntry' has no property named `autocap'

rdesktop[21500]: GLIB WARNING ** GLib-GObject - IA__g_object_set_valist: object class `GtkEntry' has no property named `autocap'

share name MMC_Int: truncated to MMC_Int

share name MMC_Ext: truncated to MMC_Ext

The program 'rdesktop' received an X Window System error.

This probably reflects a bug in the program.

The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)'.

  (Details: serial 2772 error_code 5 request_code 23 minor_code 0)

  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;

   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.

   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line

   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful

   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Re: Please help RDesktop on other networks.

Terry,
I am an IT noob but I will try to answer your question even though I don't understand understand the code you posted.

If you are able to remote into your PCs within your network but not when you use another network, the problem might be with your home router not allowing remote desktop sessions from outside networks. You will have to login to your home router/modem and open port 3389 to allow incoming connections. Also, if the PC you are trying to connect to has a software-based firewall then you might have to open up the same ports on the software as well.

Be aware that if you open up 3389 anybody from the Internet will be able to remote into your home PCs if the have the correct IP address and passwords just like you will.

Yep. Why I couldn't find this after weeks upon weeks of searching is beyond me.

I finally came across the answer is some British site where they were spelling "tire" "tyre" and stuff. Whatever, I finally got it working. Thanks for trying to help.
