1) as Reco wrote, it looks like a wrong, non-resolvable hostname. check your DNS settings. 2) how does the configuration of the windows-host look like? there are 3 possible options to configure for RDP connections: a) do not accept RDP connections b) accept connections from clients running any RDP version c) only accept clients with a RDP version that supports authentication on network-level you might try option b) when using rdesktop to connect to newer version of windows (Vista, 7, 8, Server2kX). cheers, matthias -- PGP KeyID: 0xF7BEDB94 Fingerprint: 15B1 56D8 8F67 FAAF 3FA2 76DA E072 A32C F7BE DB94
