Did you open up port 3389 in the Win 7 firewall?

Your english is fine ..

Ok thanks for the response, but seriously no need for the attitude, you could easily just respond without the sarcasm, and honestly you don't even need to respond to this either.

Is it possible to leave the audio on the local computer while using Rdesktop?

I installed qtnx, but I can't get it working.
Anyone got it working in n900?

If you have windows Home premium you can't use Rdesktop

You can if you install termsrv.

We just uploaded rdesktop-1.7-maemo2 to Extras Devel. It supports non-standard ports.

You can configure <hostname>:<port>. If only <hostname> is given, rdesktop-1.7-maemo2 assumes standard port.

thanks, great work.

I have 1.7-maemo1 installed. it works fine & I don't need the non-standard port. just wondered

1) can someone post a brief guide on how to uninstall 1.7-maemo1 cleanly before installing the newer version?

2) can rdesktop be called (with parameters) from xterm (like rdesktop-cli) so that it can bypass the logon GUI screen if desired? or would i need to install rdesktop-cli for that

3) any issues with rdesktop and rdesktop-cli coexisting on n900?

There's no need to remove the old version - it'll get replaced by the new version. There's no issues with installing both rdesktop and rdesktop-cli. I don't know for sure about being able to pass arguments to the rdesktop app, but I doubt that's work.

quick question on rdesktop-cli , i installed it OK, then ran it from xterm with:

rdesktop-cli -u myusername -p myPassword -d myDomain xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I see a line "autoselected Keyboard-map UK-GB" and then a new window launches entitled "rdesktop-xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx". At this point I'm connected to the login screen for the target server, with the username prefilled. Touching the screen brings up a mouse pointer and I can postion the cursor at the user or password fields. When I type the password, nothing happens on the GUI - but when I switch tasks on n900 back to the xterm, I have a warning about colour depth, and then the password I entered is echoed on the xterm (edit for clarity - the terminal is still executing the rdesktop command at this time, i.e. the text is echoed with newline char's following the initial rdesktop command, but there is no $ prompt until the rdesktop session in the other window eventually times out or is closed).

This seems bizzarre - previous post in this thread said that the only way to get the keyboard working was by using full screen - am i doing something wrong here? The Rdesktop window is already fullscreen (except for the status bar at the top which I can't get rid of).

The other thing is that if I type a password and hit return the input goes to the xterm window, but if I click OK on the rdesktop GUI I get a popup saying invalid password (what I'd expect with a blank pasword field, but confirms that the rdp session isn't hung).

Any ideas?

ps- as per above post, I have rdesktop-cli coexisting with rdesktop 1.7-maemo1 on my n900

(EDIT #2 - D'oh! just realised that you need the -f switch when calling the app, ignore ths drivel, though I'll leave it here in case anyone else is as dumb s me in future !!)
