Windows 2000 is getting very old, so compatiblity may be a problem. <br />
<br />
Can you address the Terminal Server by IP Address? &nbsp;And if so, does that help? <br />
<br />
Otherwise Remote Desktop Connection V6.2.9 comes with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and works with Server 2003 and up. <br />

This is using MS Windows 2000 server terminal service. We got a bunch of users using MS Windows XP 32-bit desktops, and they were connecting and used it without problem. But not for the new desktops purchased as they are installed with windows 7 64-bit. On any of these windows 7 destop, no matter how we try, we can't connect to the windows 2000 terminal service. Does this mean any missing part? Any tool we have to install?<br />

Thanks in advance!
