Tried it on my brothers laptop which is running Windows 7, didn't even connect. I am running backtrack on a virtual machine on a mac btw

[weshakeandbake]

Great video, When I remotely try to log in to my Xp laptop from my Backtrack laptop it connects for a moment then the Xp machine logs it's self out and the backtrack machine just displays a black box with a mouse. Any ideas?

[YouJoenas]

How about through internet? For example, I'm in the office and I want to connect to my Windows XP at home?

[DrHackable]

How to I host Terminal Services Server?

[deicidejan]

nice

[yjcjaycee]

How to do it the other way around? VNC is not an option, Xming doesn't log you into the desktop.

[gtdriver94]

down the res. you're video makes me dizzy

[Andrewmw17]

how do you hook it up on a mobile device over a 3g network?

[Angels763]

- connection name: account10 (same in windows)

- apn : aircelgprs

- number : *99#

still not worked

if i hava use terminal commads

then plz provide me the link

my mobile is micromax q3 any help would be aprreciatable

thankx

[Angels763]

im using ubuntu linux 8.10 im a new in that and want to connect my mobile internet to it im using internet on windows that is working perfectly

i installed ubuntu with its options inside the windows

[blue03r6]

this works exactly like the video shows for XP. does this work for connecting to another ubuntu?

[blue03r6]

well wtf, I see a program almost exactly like ubuntu's terminal server client in my start menu in vista. it has pretty much the exact same settings and everything.

although, neither computer sees each other. even on the network.

I guess it's all security stuff in vista because I can't connect to vista with XP pro either.

[blue03r6]

I have to correct myself. vista home or home premium do not have this feature. it has remote assistance only. it's supposedly not the same thing.

the other editions of windows has other settings. so I guess this doesn't work with any home editions

[blue03r6]

vista does have remote connection but it seems to block this from working.

I put my ip address in like the video shows but it just doesn't work.

[husan1985]

does the VIsta has VNC or some type of Remote protocol ?

please respond

[mangravy1]

Very nicely done!!! However, I can only imagine many more people have an old desktop running Ubuntu and a laptop or faster desktop running Windows. I run dual monitors and would like to access my Ubuntu locally and remotely both securely. Both of these are hooked to a wireless router. How about something for the masses. I'm trying to learn linux when I have time and would like to play with it where ever I'm at via my windows laptop. Thanks if you can help and thanks for a well made tutural

[tijs14tijs]

doesnt work with me, can anybody help?? ;(

I got this error: unable to connect !!!

Please

[gychang00]

This is terrific. I have Fedora-12 but my tsclient is different screen than yours which is similar to win7. What version of tsclient is this? Know where I can download? thanks,

[llieske]

i searched the forums for a good hour with no mention that this was the way to go. thanks a ton!

[ajd1912]

Thank you very much, very helpful

[1momerat99]

great video thanks

[beefiron]

Thanks guys. This is public service broadcasting :)

[shaneDaShamma55]

im trying to organize my home setup and i have a laptop running ubuntu and a desktop running XP. i want to be able to remotely manage my desktop from my laptop. my desktop is hardwired from a router and my laptop is wireless from the same router. i cant get a connection and i have all the remote access options set on both machines. any ideas?

[karinmoveonn]

is your xp box xp home? if it is then you will have to use vnc, and install the server version on your xp box. xp home has rdp, or terminal services client functionality. this means you can remote from your xp box, but not into it. You have to have rdp server to remote into you xp box. xp pro has this functionality. Therefore if you have xphome vnc server for the xp box, and vnc client for the ubuntu box.

[karinmoveonn]

you also have to open port 3389 in the port forwarding section of the router.

also you may need to open that port in your firewall.

[12elmer14]

nice men thanks

[ePlanB]

Thank you, helpd me alot.

[caspian200]

A couple of questions:

Will this work on Vista/Win7?

How intensive is it?

[caspian200]

the first question should be "will this connect to Vista/Win7?"

[Shadow1643]

(1) Yes it will. And any new Windows OS that comes out. All it is is the standard RDP(v5) protocol.

(2) I don't understand... if you're talking about functionality, it has all the same functionality as the built-in Windows RDC Client. If your talking about speed, it's just as fast as the Windows one (at least in my experiences)

[Shadow1643]

Oh, and on a side note, it only works on non-Home editions (Home edition vista/7 doesn't have RDP built in.)

[MrDefinitelyjoe]

But it seems you cannot activate remote desktop on windows xp HOME. how do you access another ubuntu on local?

[soilworked86]

Are you using Freesans as your system font on Ubuntu?

[Ch0c0lateBunnyRabbit]

Any way to do this with Windows ME?

[Gispero]

How do I connect to an XP machine over the internet when there are several computers on my home network.

I have used the name of my Windows work group as the domain and the name of the PC as the client but it does not connect, no error messages.

What ports are need to be open for this to work ?

[Kh7l]

very good

[enos76]

Assigning a password to the XP account is not just a matter of security, as AFAIK the default XP policy (browsable through start-run-gpedit.msc) does not allow the use of remote desktop to accounts with no password.

Anyway, very nice video: clear, pleasant... professional.

[gonkyouka]

yeah ive been using this since i had my ubuntu. great guide short and sweet

[checkityo455]

ahhm i dont think you can do that but you can search the web or i can give you a trusty website if you live in toronto canada then go to harbrald and go to linuxcaffe youll find a nice man named dave or daved or if your not in that location search it on the web and search irc u must have java and the people might helop you you have to bee EXTRA nice

[tabbycat1994]

Btw in this video you are actually showing any YouTube user your Public IP address...

[MadDawg010]

That's his private LAN address. You can't connect to his network using that address.

[Deadpan110]

If you are using something other than a default Ubuntu install, then install from the command line with:

sudo apt-get tsclient

You also get a nice TS Client Applet to put on your gnome panel = easy access to saved settings (one click to log into Windows as a particular user)

WinXP Pro limits the amount of people that can log in at a time (1 remote and 1 local)

There is a hack to take care of this...

WinXP Pro SP2 only:

Termiserv_XPSP2_i386_1.0.exe

*GOOGLE WITH CARE & USE AT YOUR OWN RISK*

[Deadpan110]

-ADDS-

Windows Terminal Server will only let you use High Colour 16 bit and not 24 bit True Colour (I guess they didn't expect lans would be fast enough)

[FezTube11]

This is very informative, I like videos that focus on the subject at hand but also take a little time to explain the minor details as well for those who may not be sure of them.

I always have a problem connecting because my XP laptop doesn't have that option that you had under "Remote". It only has "Allow remote assistance" and that's checked, but I'll try my Ubuntu and see what I can do with that.

:)

[Danielcory]

woah, you have wireless on ubuntu??? nice

[specialblend21]

how did you keep the xp theme? Mine always reverts to the windows classic theme...kinda ugly

[serviceprint]

Monitoring server

[JPOtalk]

is there sound on the controler side?

[shagrath83]

Thanks, really helpful.

[karinmoveonn]

The windows box is the server in this case, but not all versions of windows have the server software- xp home for example only has the client software for rdc, or terminal services. My question is are you aware of the ability to serve from ubuntu or any other flavor of linux an rdc session from a windows client?

[cheapshet]

Cool. Now to install ubuntu on an older computer ^_^

[ChrisMurphy15]

Thanks man! this would be really helpful if ubuntu actually worked with ati x1650

[XvMicroHelpervX]

Did you connect on the Internet?

[Laoch111]

Hi,

Is this for connecting to a Windows pc on a LAN or over the internet?
