Recommended reading material: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

why this rdesktop doesnot work?
i have winxp, i've installed rdesktop and redesktopclient on n900
ive enabled allow remote connections in win xp control panel
now, i run rdesktop
in server in put ip number after that : 3389
user name , my user name from win xp

pass -- nothing
domain - nothing

i push connetct, and then: Rdesktop cannot connect

wtf??? why?
thanks

unless your XP is a professional version, it won't support Remote Desktop (unless you hack it, see google for further info) - worth checking that before doing any more techy diagnostics?

Remote desktop also requires a password!

thank for your quick answer!
still no luck!. i've winxp professional, sp3, i put a random pass, but still cannot connect . any ideeas? what should i write in Domain tab?
thank you!

Try disabling firewall

Yep, most likely.

Or/and you have to add this user to the groups of "remote users".
There are two ways:
one is afair directly with right-click on MyComputer / Properties and somewhere on those tabs.
second is to right-click on MyComputer / Manage and goto users. Then add this user to the group of 'remote desktop users'.

Still no luck...
i've disabled firewall, in windows it's says that the user has already access to this computer, it's a improvment, (thanks to this firewall disablig), at least i got a win xp message on n900, that is:

Logon Message: "Make sure your User name and domain are correct".
in rdesktop i left Domain tab blank. What i have to write there?
thankyou again!

if you have no domain, it should just be left blank. Have you checked that the user/password don't have auto-capitalisation (i.e. n900 making the 1st letter a capital when you don't intend that)?
