RE: rdesktop and vista

Here's another quick troubleshooting step, just to eliminate SELinux as
a culprit:

# echo 0 > /selinux/enforce

And try your connection again.

Have you set Vista to allow connections from older versions of remote

newest clients (or something like that; I don't have it right in front
of me) and I believe that is the default choice. I know you double
checked the settings, but that's my first thought.

Hello,

I am trying to get rdesktop working with vista. I using redhat v5 and
have been using rdesktop to connect to xp & 2003 servers. However with

vista I getting connection reset by peer error. I can rdp into the
vista
system from a xp system and also by using dameware, however from the
redhat system it does not work. I have tried the following:
Turned off firewall to eliminate that as a variable
Doubled and tripled check settings in system remote tab
Did searches on Yahoo looking for a solution

I figure there some small setting that needs to change or there is a
conflict with rdeskptop and vista. The version of rdesktop is 1.4.1
that came with redhat v5. Has anyone ran into this problem with
rdesktop or have a solution. My next step is to install and try
rdesktop 1.5.0 from sourceforge but do not like to install a non
supported version of the software on the server.

Any info would be appreciated.

jim



Bob,

I do have the the following selected "Allow connections from computers
running any version of Remote Desktop".

I assume this is what you were referring to. Any other suggestions
would be helpful.

jim
