I'll be happy to test if you'll refresh my failing memory :) Been about a year since I used rdesktop, and then it was only for connecting to an OSX server, not to Windows. I have Win7 running as a vbox guest, and here's what it's showing me: PORT STATE SERVICE 135/tcp open msrpc 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp open microsoft-ds 554/tcp open rtsp 2869/tcp open icslap 5357/tcp open wsdapi 10243/tcp open unknown Do I need to enable RDP (or something else) on the Windows guest before rdesktop will make a connection? I've tried all the open ports on the Win7 machine with no success. (You can tell I'm no Windows expert :)
