I use it all the time to go through VPN into my Windows XP and Windows 2003 workstations. Just use rdp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] to connect. Because I'm not on the DNS for my LAN when going through VPN, I use rdp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] to connect. http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/suse/2007/20070213_rdc_work.jpg There, that's a screen shot I just took from my laptop. -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
