12.04networkingremote desktop
I am trying to connect to Remote machine (Windows 7 OS) using Remote Desktop Viewer.
Protocol I'm using is RDP and Host is local IP of the machine I am trying to connect to.
On Windows I have allowed people to remotely connect to that machine.
What protocol should I use ? What other settings I have to do?
My OS is Ubuntu (12.04)
The versions of vinagre (the application you mention) included with all released versions of Ubuntu do not support the RDP protocol (the feature was added in 2.31.4, while Ubuntu 11.04 comes with 2.30.3).
So there are basically three options:
vinagre (the next release should be sufficient).tsclient.vinagre from some other source.Make sure port 3389 is opened on your firewall and router.
In Remmina edit your connection, click the "Advanced" tab and choose RDP under the "Security" option and save.
