Meaning, you've invoked 'rdesktop 10.0.0.1' (or any other IP address), and got the same error: ERROR: getaddrinfo: No address associated with hostname This is VERY strange. Can you please try running rdesktop like this (replace 10.0.0.1 with a real IP): strace -o /tmp/rdesktop rdesktop 10.0.0.1 I like to see what's really goin' on there. Please attach /tmp/rdesktop to your e-mail, or put in on a pastebin. > >> Further, I was told to try use window to connect to that window machine > >> in order to access some software. > > > > And, did it work? > > Right now I checked from a Window, yeah, it worked from windows to > connect to that server Ok. And, this Windoze host, does it use the same DNS settings as yours? Reco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
