rdesktop connection!

hy

i want to use rdesktop from a CENTOS OS box in order to connect to a windows XP box.

When ever i want to connect it says:
ERROR: 192.168.0.10: unable to connect

This is the script that i used:
rdesktop -g 550X450 -u red 192.168.0.10

am i missing something?
Do i have to set something else in the windows XP box?

thanks

'Control Panel' > 'System' > 'Remote' tab > enable remote desktop

Check that the users you want to able to connect are in the list. Users must have a password.

yes this is great snowtigger, it works, thanks a lot. I spent many hours searching on how to do it, it is so simple, and so straight.
It seems that i can't use the remote access if i am not within the users of the windows box?

thanks again.
