Hi all,
Does anyone know why CentOS 5.+3 + latest KDE won't connect to a Windows 2008 server via Remote Desktop, yet it will work on a Windows 2003 server?
I can easily connect to a Windows 2003 server, using rdp:/196.34.x.x and login and use the Windows 2003 server.
But when I try the same with a Widows 2008 server, it just fails. I see if connecting, and then it "dies" without even displaying me the login screen.
Is there something else I need todo to make it work?

You need to use latest version of rdesktop from rdesktop.sf.net to use it with windows 2008. Also, rpmforge has latest version packaged ...

Thank you, this helped a lot :)
I did try yum update krdc, but didn't think about rdesktop as well.
