What is the tool used to do remote desktop from FC to windows and how to let windows connect to FC ? Been try VNC viewer but not working. Pls advise thanks
There are many ways to connect linux and windows computers.
rdesktop is used to connect to windows terminal servers and remote administration on XP Pro. W2K and XP home do not have this capability so you will need to use vnc instead.
Connecting from windows to linux non GUI you can use ssh. There is x over ssh, Cygwin/X in addition to vnc for GUIs.

Can use vnc from linux to windows server 2003 ? if can, when i enter the ip address it will take very long. The windows server have remote administration installed.
dude, you need to install vnc on windows if you want to use vnc to connect from linux OR otherwise enable rdp and use rdesktop.
that is what michaelk meant.

Yes i have rdp and rdesktop in windows but when i connect from linux vnc it hangs ?
you cannot use vnc for connection if you are using rdp.
I guess you havent understood the difference between rdp and vnc. I just did a search and got this, ie if you want to understand the diff. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000338.html
