When we had Windows Server 2003 rdesktop worked fine but now we have moved up to Windows Server 2008 it wont connect instead it flashes up and then closes. Does anyone know of a package that will work with Lucid 5.1.1 and Windows Server 2008 to establish a connection to Terminal Services?

Ok so here's the scenario.

I have a number of puppy inux users connecting to a Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server that are suddenly getting licensing errors. Some windows users were having the same problem until we updated the Windows Remote Desktop. From what I can see the most recent version of rdesktop does not support RD...

I finally biffed Vista off my Samsung Q1 and installed Puppy 3.01. The performance increase is amazing. I do however need to print to a Canon IP4300 that is connected to my XP Laptop but cant seem to get it to work. Maybe I'm misunderstanding some of the terminology but I use my printer name as it s...

Checked the link for the nolapro page it says it didnt find any significant problems. Submit pad seems to have problems linked to it but aren't we looking at six degrees of seperation a la web? Maybe you can answer a question, is there a way to find out how current the McAfee rating is? I looked up ...

How do I set a static IP?

Hi Will thanks for confirming what I already suspected. Under normal circumstances I'm a big fan of suck-it-and-see when it comes to Linux, its how I learnt mopst of what I know about windows et al. I guess mixing os'es just made me nervous and I dont have the time at the moment to rebuild either a ...

Presumeably then if the thumb drive gets mounted as sda1 the code should be; rdesktop -f -k en-gb -a 15 -r disk:foo=/mnt/sda1 192.168.x.x x being the ip address of the linux box. This will give what though? Im assuming I still have to manually mount the drive. Does it give me a mapped drive to the U...

Having gotten past the rdesktop issue I now have a new problem for which I donmt have an answer.

Yep, read the license completely and if we can get a working solution using a puppy based OS then I would be making sure we could support it. Thing is, at $60 a throw per license plus DIY support, the saving over the windows versions clients are currently using is minimal and the potential headaches...
