you need to at least provide the IP address of your server; i.e.: ./rdesktop 10.0.0.1
However, whereas i prefer the full desktop, I include the option -i; i.e.: ./rdesktop -f 10.0.0.1 Due to a licensing issue that has arisen in my environment, however, I now have to include the -n option; i.e.: ./rdesktop -u curtis -f 10.0.0.1 Best of luck.
