Hi folks, Sorry if you've already received a copy of this through "rdesktop-users", but I didn't get much response there and I was hoping that this list might be a more appropriate place to ask this question. I'm using rdesktop 1.6.0 to connect to Windows Vista "Enterprise" virtual machine, running under VMware View (if that makes any difference). I use a command like: vmware-view -r disk:mycomp=$HOME to make my local home directory available on the remote Windows machine. I find that I can browse around in "mycomp" with no problem, walking the directory tree and opening files, but if I try to create a new folder (using Windows' right-click --> New --> Folder) I get an error message saying: Error 0x8007048F: The device is not connected Thereafter, "mycomp" is no longer accessible (until I log off the remote machine and log back in again). If I try to do anything with it, I just get the message: \\tsclient\mycomp is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. ... Attempt to access invalid address. I've found that if I patch rdesktop using the patch found here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2812158&group_id=24366&atid=381349 the problem goes away. Is there any plan to include this patch, or something similar in the next release of rdesktop? I took a look at the development tree, and the version of the affected file (disk.c) in the trunk there doesn't seem to have this patch. We're doing a pilot project here that provides students with access to a Windows virtual machine through rdesktop, and we'd really like to have a fix for this bug when/if we go into production with this service. Thanks in advance for any help or information.
