suntzu Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Ok, I tried to run the "remote Desktop Connection" client in suse 9 and I keep getting this error message: Connection failed. No server running at the given address and port. I entered in 192.168.0.5:0 It is a windows 2000 terminal server. I get the same message when I try from the command line. I know that my address is correct, because I can terminal in from windows. There are no other network issues, becuae I can transfer files to and from that specific server. I can ping the server also. I also tried by domain name but no luck.... Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted December 16, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 16, 2003 I use vnc for my infrequent remote desktop needs. I assume you are trying to connect using Microsoft's Remote Desktop feature? Do you know what program it is running on your SUSE box? I am looking at sourceforge.net to look up some information on what you may have been running... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 192.168.0.5:3389 m8, thats what you want to connect to, or don't give a port at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted December 17, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 17, 2003 I didn't know there was Linux support for MS Remote Desktop... :blink: I still prefer vnc. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volrathxp Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I didn't know there was Linux support for MS Remote Desktop... :blink: I still prefer vnc. :yes: there are some good frontends to it as well (most notably tsclient) but I use it on my Gentoo system at work and it connects to everything just fine, including RDPv5 (XP/2003) based RDP servers as well as Windows 2000 TS. I have VNC set up w/ xinetd on my work system to allow remote connections to it just like a terminal server. :) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
