I have what had been a long working setup using rdesktop (1.8.0 on Fedora 19) to connect to a notebook running Windows 7 Enterprise (on SP1, but I don't know for how long). I'm pretty sure recent updates to the notebook caused my issue, but I am seeking help here because I really need to get this working again and have little faith that my IT support will be of much help, especially given the last bullet point below. Here's what I know: rdesktop never even creates a window running from a shell prompt, I see only the following on stdout: Autoselected keyboard map en-us Connection established using CredSSP. the exit status value ($?) is 76 telnet notebook 3389 is able to connect so basic TCP/IP and firewall type issues are out other coworkers have attempted a connection to my notebook and get the same results that I do any attempted connection does result in the session being "stolen" from the notebook's screen; but at the same time, it never appears remotely either I tried downgrading back to rdesktop-1.7.1 even though I'd used 1.8.0 for around a month; this downgrade also made no difference I can recompile with various debug options enabled, but I have no idea what would be useful here so please specify, if needed -- I tried all but nothing caught my eye other than a "Failed to parse crypt info" right near the end. an strace of the process seems to show that rdesktop is waiting forever to read something from the X11 server socket a coworker was able to connect remotely to my notebook from his notebook (also Win 7) using mstsc Many thanks in advance for any guidance. -- John Florian |

On Win 7 computer, right click Computer, select Properties. Click Remote Settings (left column). Under the Remote Desktop section, click "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop" Ken Cobler |
