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?

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

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

i tried the above link already.
after i edited my register n reboot.
my internet connection went haywire.
cant seem to load any websites other than google oni.
i had to system restore my comp.

Extract from the instruction page:-
Navigate the Windows registry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet00X/Control/ProductOptions (where ControlSet00X is the one with the highest number) and delete the “ProductSuite” key.
what does he mean by highest number?
there are 4 in my list..
ControlSet001
ControlSet002
ControlSet003
CurrentControlSet

so which is it?
