why use rdp? vnc works great for this. see my post from 1st page

Please check his profile; apparently this is a spammer, with the 'cyperflix' APK home page.

Thanks TB0ne

Make sure your Windows machine is discoverable on the network. IE: Private network not public (This in most cases will ensure RDP port is open on your Windows machine if RDP has been enabled)

Additionally back to what was mentioned above about the RDP security level. From Windows 7 or later in the section where you enable RDP there is additional radio button if I can recall which allows you to change the security levels.

If you really wanted to take a step further you could always run netstat on your Windows machine and check if the port is listening or run a port scanner like nmap from the Linux box targeting your windows host which should show you if the port is indeed open or not.

Uhhhh!
He said they are on the same network in his home. He is not using and paying for resources other than locally.
He certainly does not want to use anything remote and in the cloud to connect from one PC to another locally.

1. Check network connection: "$ telnet WINDOWS_IP 3389". Does it work? If no, then it could be firewall issue. Make sure Windows network profile is "home" (or "domain") and you have checked "Allow remote connection" checkbox in Windows.
2. Check Windows logs "Administrative events" and "Security"
3. I use freerdp and rdesktop: both work perfectly with Windows10. You may check them.

Thanks for share post.
