[gentoo-user] rdesktop gibt immer nur "ERROR: send: Connection reset by peer" zurück

[Wolfgang Liebich]

Hi,
Ich habe in meinem Büro einen neuen PC bekommen und ihn mit gentoo
aufgesetzt, so wie den alten. ABER:
Wenn ich auf meinem neuen PC versuche, via rdesktop zu irgendeinem
Windows-Rechner zu gelangen, bekomme ich nur obige Fehlermeldung. Auf
dem *alten* System klappt es - es ist auf beiden Systemen die gleiche
Version installiert
(eix -I rdesktop sagt
* net-misc/rdesktop

[gentoo-user] rdesktop always fails with "ERROR: send: Connection reset by peer"

Hi,
Sorry for writing the first email in german - it was meant for
gentoo-user-de :-/
Now the same question in english...

according to equery uses the USE flags are the same, too:

So ... how can I proceed?

I assume that you have checked all the obvious access rights and network 
configuration issues (like the firewall configuration on the WinXP machines, 
the particular -l username access rights for login on interactively at the 
WinXP console, etc.)?

Yes:
- There is no firewall between the winxp machines (plural :-/) and the 
linux boxen (old or new)
- I do net even GET to the login mask, so user permissions don't play a 
role (and if I connect from the OLD gentoo box, I can login).

Including any WinXP (software) firewall?  I am thinking here that it may have 
to do with the subdomain address that the new Gentoo build is trying to 
access them from.

This type of message often occurs when you are trying to access machines over 
slow, high latency dial-up connections.  Are you using IP addresses to 
connect to the WinXP boxen, or names - name resolution could add to the delay 
and time-out reset messages.

Have you searched the rdesktop server event logs?  tcpdump?

Well, the latest breaking news from the rdesktop front:
- I tried to reemerge rdesktop (release  1.4.1) with the "debug" USE
flag set in package.use. First test: It works !!! (after spewing
incredible amounts of debugging messages at me). OK.
- I removed the line specifying "debug" USE flag and reemerged again
(same state as before). What do you think happened
now?.... well.... it worked!!!!

Well... on one hand, I'm glad it's working now. 
BUT .. I feel somewhat spooked :-)))
Has ANYONE some kind of explanation for that???
Dazed & confused,
Wolfgang
