@jcostantino: after coming out of sleep mode, try using the home key or the power key to get to the desktop.

@all: i tried backporting 1.5.0 to maemo, it works but RDP5 support (in arm, x86 works fine) has problems and it's painfully slow to use. not to mention consistent high cpu usage when connected. using RDP4 is ok but then it won't mount drives and possibly won't connect to Vista, so kinda pointless to publicly release it at this point. But I submitted the code as a new branch in garage if anybody's interested. (I can also build a .deb too, but as I said, it's useless right now)

Help!

What are the input parameters for RDesktop?

RDP server: The WinXP PC's IP address? Mine is on a router, 192.168.1.101?
Username: Windows username at the top of START menu?
Password: ? I don't have any, leave it blank?
Domain: home (from ipconfig) ?

If I use these, it cannot connect......

rdp server is the ip address. you need tcp port 3389 to be open. if it is behind a router you'll have to set up port forwarding for tcp/3389.

username is the windows username. password is the user's password. leave domain blank.

how do I open that tcp port? Is it in Windows Security Center / Windows Firewall / Exceptions / Add Port?

I did that and still no joy...

Hold on, it was 3306 before, now it's 3389. Fine. This is in fact a preset in the Firewall Exceptions. I have enabled that now, and RDesktop accepts the settings but then quits and leaves

"ERROR: connect: Connection refused"

on XTerm.

You need to enable "Remote Desktop" in xp. (my computer - properties - remote)

Did you try to backport the 1.5 stable release or use something more recent from CVS? It has been six months since 1.5 was released and it sounded like Vista support was a bit preliminary at that point. You might have better success trying to adapt something more recent. I checked the CVS and it looks like there has been some activity since the last stable release. Have you bugged the arm vs x86 issues upstream?

CVS has the same problems as 1.5.0 release. I posted my results to rdesktop-devel list but it doesn't seem like the list is actually working.

Texrat, I have the same error as you. Have you made any progress? Any thoughts disq?
