Remote Desktop Connection (from Fedora to Windows XP) using built-in KRDC
Is there a way to use the built-in KRDC program (Remote Desktop Connection under "more internet applications") to connect to a Windows XP machine?
I'm using Fedora Core 1 and Windows XP Professional.

Honestly, I suggest you install VNC on both boxes.
It works perfectly, is free, and is cross-platform :

I unfortunately don't have a Windows RDP in here, so I can not test rdesktop for you. But I have already used it, and you're right, it's not very easy.
As far as I remember, you should do :
rdesktop -u username -d domain servername
If you have rdp version 4 :
rdesktop -4 -u username -d domain servername

do you have remote desktop enabled on your winxp machine?
Usage: rdesktop [options] server[:port]
-u: user name
-d: domain
-s: shell
-c: working directory
-p: password (- to prompt)
-n: client hostname
-k: keyboard layout on terminal server (us,sv,gr,etc.)
-g: desktop geometry (WxH)
-f: full-screen mode
-b: force bitmap updates
-e: disable encryption (French TS)
-m: do not send motion events
-C: use private colour map
-K: keep window manager key bindings
-T: window title
-D: hide window manager decorations

i use rdesktop 1.3.1 all the time , i use FC2 test2 .
I can connect to my XP perfectly.here are some tips.
use "rdesktop -a 16 ipaddressoflxpmachine " to set the color depth to 16 bips , makes windows look good"
i also use -g option to set geometry to fit my linux laptop
" rdesktop -g 1280x1024 -a 16 192.168.0.22"
if u want sound also to work use
" rdesktop -g 1280x1024 -a 16 -r sound 192.168.0.22"
if u want to full screen use the -f option ( use CTRL+ALT+enter to toggle fullscreen)
" redesktop -g 1280x1024 -a 16 -f 192.168.0.22"

Works for me as well with both WinXP and Win2k
I just tried doing rdesktop to my Windows 2003 server over the internet and it worked great! That is a good tool to use.
Will it work in reverse? (From Windows to Linux)?
B.T.W. I am using Fedora Core 2 out of the box.
