Title: RDesktop OS3.x help
Post by: lillPiP on January 16, 2007, 08:10:16 PM

I'm trying to use RDesktop on my A4000 to connect to a PC.
When changing the tooltypes for the "Living Room PC" - icon to my configuration and doubleclick it, I only get a black windows with a little bigger mousepointer. Nothing more =(
Also tried to download the GUI-MUI interface but when hitting the Connect-button nothin at all happens =( I placed the GUI-MUI in the same directory as RDesktop.

I downloaded an older version to see if it worked before making any donations for a newer version.

Yes the PC itself has XP Pro and I can connect without problem with my other PC. The problem is somewhere on the Amiga.
Yes the GUI started on my 68k =)

Thanks for the link! unfortunately i can't help not owning an XP pro version.

Is there any other way (xp wise) to get remote desktop on a plain XP SP2?

PS- erm ... legally of course! ;-)

Well you need in that case download a third-party software, unsure of the link at the moment, try to google it.

So I can then access the XP Pro PC without any additional software installed on it? As long as Remote management is activated?

Not yet. I run a couple of Windows 2003 servers at home; I might this weekend try connecting to them. My regular use PC runs Vista; but haven't yet looked into if this has remote help/remote desktop....
