Does not seem te help.
I changed the password to 'ddd' that should be readable on any keyboard?n, changed the input prefs as well.

No result

@JosDuchIt

as for the keyboard layout, i'm talking about the windows keyboard, not sam and os4.
when the screen of rdesktop with windows coming up, in the windows login, the keyboard changing the language to greek.
but if you don't have two languages in your keyboard, may this is not your problem.


btw: for png icons put the png icon module in Libs:


-edit-

if you don't getting this screen from rdesktop you may have problem with settings in windows side.

@JosDuchIt

A couple other things you should verify:

1) on the Windows PC

Go to Start menu, select Run...

Type in winver then press enter. A Window should pop up. It should say Windows XP Professional. If it says "Home" edition then rdesktop won't work, period. There may be a 3rd party utility to get it to work, but I've not tested any.

2) Assuming you have Windows XP Professional, go into network connections, into the properties of your local area connection. Go into details and get the IP address of the Windows machine. Probably something like 192.168.x.x.

3) Still Assuming you have Windows XP Professional, go to your Amiga. Open a new shell. type in:

ping <ip address>

in my case it would be:

ping 192.168.1.5

You should get replies. If you don't, then you may have a firewall on the Windows side enabled that is blocking connections, and could be blocking incoming rdesktop connections from the Amiga.

Winver gives me:
Version 5.1 (Build2600xpsp-sp2-gdr.090804-1412 Service Pack 2)

ping works oK

@amije
- the screen i get is exactly the one you do show. (Windows XP Professional)
- when you do speak about keyboard settings on the PC side, where do you change these?

I did use the Pngmodule and now the Living_Room_PC PNG icon appears in th rdesktop window. (RDesktop too) The icon LIving_Room_PC.info is still there too
The latter still has the tooltypes i entered in the icon before
REMOTEAUDIO
USER=Laptop-Mams
SERVER=192.168.1.2
DOMAIN=WORKGROUP
PASSWORD=ddd
DEPTH=16


i also tried just
USER=Laptop-Mams
SERVER=192.168.1.2
entering the password manually just gave me the same results:
a message box telling me

"The system could not log you on. Make sure your User name and domain are correct, then type your password again. letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case"


I observed that the LIving_Room_PC PNG icon came up with other tooltypes, i had to adapt to get the same result as before (the Windows XP Pro requester requesting a Name ande a password) but here too the message box told me i was wrong same as before :((

@JosDuchIt

the most important tooltypes are:
USER=xxx
SERVER= winxp-pc ip
DEPTH=16
you can close to ( ) the others to avoid confusion.

if you can see in my last grab, there is an EL in the window which is the greek language
the reason why xp refuse to log me in.
pressing alt+shift change language to EN (english) and it's ok.

@JosDuchIt

comment out the username and password tooltypes for now. at least you should get to a window showing the Windows XP Login screen...can you try that?

@amije

What i just noted :
When the Windows XP Pro requester appear, it has no identification of language,
Using Alt-Shift does not change anything
when i enter the password, an 'EN' indication appears (errror messag)

if i use AltShift now, the indication changes to NL (dutch)
entering the password again: same error message.

@HammerD

Yes
now i get the same Windows xp log in requester, and i get 'root' filled in as user name

@JosDuchIt

ok well that is progress... :)

now you just have to figure out your Windows username and password :)

Control Panel -> User accounts

(on the windows side)

@HammerD

My computer name
from MyComputer/Properties/ Computer name is
Laptop-Mams


I have 2 administrator accounts Mams & Paps, (others too)
of which i mainly used Mams for testing. Initially it had no password, which did not work, i added a password, which did not work on log in too

Retested it now :still the same error message mentioned allready in this thread.


"The system could not log you on. Make sure your User name and domain are correct, then type your password again. letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case"


For testing i boot the PC, then log in as Mams user, then move to the SAM and hit the Livin_Room_PC icon get the login screen, filled in manually with
Laptop-Mams and Mams user password; then get the error message.


I do not have a domain, but a WORKGROUP

@JosDuchIt

comment out -put in ( ),- the domain= tooltype.
in xp, in Mams account set a simple password (abc for example)
and give it a try. if the letters abc are the same in dutch it may work whatever is the keymap.

btw in win xp, open ''my computer'' and in menu ''tools/folder options''
go to the tab ''view'' and ckeck out NOT to be selected the ''use simple file sharing''

@amije

Problem solved
In fact i always used the computer name combinned with a user-account password.

I now did use the user-account name with its password.


All is OK now. Splendid.

Thanks for help and patience.


I did not found how to quit yet though.

Joseph

@JosDuchIt

You can quit via the start menu, there is a disconnect option.

The registered version of Remote Desktop has a connection bar which, if you hover the mouse near the top-centre of the remote desktop window, will pull down options, including a close option.

The free version doesn't have this.

But you can disconnect from it using the Windows start menu.

it took 17 days to connect and now you want to quit? Nooo!

"It took 17 days to connect and now you want to quit? Nooo!"


LOL . Probably broke some Guiness record ?

and you are quite rigth: let's stay here for some other 17 days.

BTW found that using the Windows Start button made me quit rdesktop.

@JosDuchIt

Ok for Remote Desktop you _must_ have a password for the account.

The other place to check is by right clicking "My Computer", going to "Properties", then click the "Remote" tab and you will be able to see which users have access. At the bottom of that window it will say "xxxx user already has access" or something similar.

You can add users too in there.

@HammerD

Thanks for your help. All is OK now.
