Dan,
Are you trying to connect from your 10.2 workstation to a (windows) server? I have it running, using my opensuse laptop as a RDP client to a windows server.
that really works? I can get an RDP session to a windows server, without having to have VNC server running on the windows box?
Peter
Sure it works. Make sure you have the rdesktop package installed. I have no GUI frontend in gnome, but KDE offers a rdesktop frontend for this tool. It supports VNC and RDP.
My experience is that it works way faster then the "official" Windows RDP client. And easier to configure.
To start from the commandline:>rdesktop <hostname>
I use the resolution parms and userid password in my shortcuts. Works like a charm.
I use it all the time to go through VPN into my Windows XP and Windows 2003 workstations. Just use rdp://username@computername to connect. Because I'm not on the DNS for my LAN when going through VPN, I use rdp://username@IP_Address to connect. http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/suse/2007/20070213_rdc_work.jpg There, that's a screen shot I just took from my laptop. -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
