Alas, still no connection.
Hi,

1) Set up a static IP on your client - Set it same as your external IP
2) Make sure you turn all sort of firewalls off- including the one your router has for your PC
3) Set your user as the admin
4) I hope your OS is XP- Vista does not support RDP

Thanks

There hasn't been a new release of rdesktop for N900 for a while - has development stopped?

Also, I notice that the most recent comments in the subversion repository (https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scm...?root=rdesktop) say "Moved to other place". Does that mean it's been moved to gitorious or something?

Is there a way to shutdown your PC through RD? Seems to be only able to log-off, and occasionally would like to completely close down...

The only way I could find was to open the command line (run > cmd) and use the shutdown command.
> shutdown -s -t 0

Code:
Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "comment"] [-d up:xx:yy]

        No args                 Display this message (same as -?)
        -i                      Display GUI interface, must be the first option
        -l                      Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
        -s                      Shutdown the computer
        -r                      Shutdown and restart the computer
        -a                      Abort a system shutdown
        -m \\computername       Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
        -t xx                   Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
        -c "comment"            Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
        -f                      Forces running applications to close without warning
        -d [u][p]:xx:yy         The reason code for the shutdown
                                u is the user code
                                p is a planned shutdown code
                                xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256)
                                yy is the minor reason code (positive integer less than 65536)

I seem to be having a problem with Rdesktop that it appears nobody else in this thread is having. For me the app starts fine but the process is killed instantly when connecting, it gives no errors when running through the gui, just crashes back to desktop.

I've tried running it from the command line, with various options, however the same thing happens every time, but I recieve the error:

Code:
ui_maemo_init: Cannot initialise osso!
I've also ssh'd in, this way I get far more detailed information and it appears that it actually does connect but dies when trying to build the UI:

Code:
main: ** connecting: srv=192.16xxxxxx, flags=59, domain='' pass='xxxxxx' shell='/bin/sh' dir=''

connect_server: server = '192xxxxxx', port = 3389
EINPROGRESS in connect() - selecting
done completeNokia-N900-51-1:~#
I'm running the latest PR on an N900 with the power kernel installed. Anybody have any ideas?

Not sure if anyone's still working on this, but found this earlier, think it would fix that problem where maemo grabs the volume controls and forces rdesktop out of fullscreen mode:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...me.2Fzoom_keys

http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/..._Zoom_Out_keys

Would be nice to implement it if anyone is there.

Also, OpenVPN + RDP makes the ultimate roadtime server management tool!
Try using the search facility here, OpenVPN and Rdesktop is already available for n900.

They are both in the package repo's and they work fine.

I had a problem when trying to connect to my Windows 7 box which had Network Level Authentication turned on. It seems that this client doesn't support it and, as far as I recall, it seemed to exit very quickly. When I turned NLA off, it went in OK.

However, the error messages make it look like something more at the N900 end.
