Hi Liam, Try installing gnome-rdp in Ubuntu from the software center menu, it give you options to add profiles and resize the screen, its a front end on the rdesktop command I believe. Im not sure why tsclient doesnt work, I would have thought they both use the sam port numbers if they support the same RDP protocol.

I have a Windows 2008 Server (r1, 32-bit, SP2) box sitting here, right next to & on the same subnet as my Ubuntu 9.10 (64-bit) desktop PC. Both are patched fully up-to-date. I would like to use the Ubuntu machine to access the remote desktop on the Windows server. I normally use the Terminal Services client to do this, but it will not connect. It will from my XP laptop, it will from my Macs, but not from Ubuntu. Googling for info on this problem, eventually I found this: <a href="http://gerardmcgarry.com/blog/how-remotely-connect-ubuntu-a-windows-machine" target="_blank">http://gerardmcgarry.com/blog/how-remotely-connect-ubuntu-a-windows-machine</a> ... which told me about the "rdesktop" command. I tried it & to my surprise it worked instantly. The snag is, I'd prefer the resizable window and so on of tsclient to rdesktop. Any ideas why tsclient won't connect when rdesktop will? It's not a firewall issue - neither machine has one on. It's not a routing issue - there is no routing, they're on the same hub. Not switch, hub. Direct circuit. Does not matter if I pick RDP or RDPv5 in tsclient - it eventually times out (very slowly - after about 2min) . It's not a user account issue. There are only 2 accounts on the server & both work. -- Liam Proven • Profile: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/liamproven" target="_blank">http://www.linkedin.com/in/liamproven</a> Email: <a href="mailto:lproven@cix.co.uk">lproven@cix.co.uk</a> • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: <a href="mailto:lproven@gmail.com">lproven@gmail.com</a> Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AOL/AIM/iChat/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • LiveJournal/Twitter: lproven MSN: <a href="mailto:lproven@hotmail.com">lproven@hotmail.com</a> • ICQ: 73187508 -- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/</a> </blockquote></div>
