hi im using Fedora Core 7

i just want to login to one of the pc's of my local network from my linux pc.

i want to know the command from terminal window.

my machines ip is 192.168.0.1 and
i want to login to 192.168.0.130

what is the command to write in the terminal.
like rdesktop??????

what should i type in the terminal windows to get the full remote desktop of the pc ?????

thnx in advance

Hello, you should run and that will give you a list of all the possible arguments you can run. But I'll give you a couple examples of basic remote desktop....

This will give you a window that is not quite full screen...
This next will will give you a full screen..You can use Alt+Enter (I think? I can't remember and don't have a win machine to test) to escape full screen.
The -a 24 uses 24 bit colour depth...Gives you a little better picture than not using it. There are many more options as you will see when you run --help, like pass the remote sound to your local machine, export shares, etc....But this will get you going for accessing your computer.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

thnx for your info's
but it gives me this message


reza$ rdesktop -a 24 -g 93% 192.168.0.145
bash: rdesktop: command not found

so what should i do

thnx again.
i want to login to a WinXP machine from my linux pc.
i used the rdesktop command in fedora core 4 but its not working in fedora core 7.

Hello, Sounds like rdesktop is not installed by default and you'll need to install it??

You can check if its installed with this command..
If there is no output or it says its not installed, You should be able to install it with YUM? (I'm not entirely familiar with Fedora and getting apps, "yum install rdesktop"????) Anyway, give that a shot.
Thanks

thn k u soooooooo much

i installed it using yum.
now it works so fine.
thnxxxxxxxxx a lot pccdrussell thnx a lot.

Your Welcome....Glad you got it going and glad to be of help!
Thanks

I DO NOT want to be perceived as hijacking the OP's thread, but following these instructions, how would one correct it when the following is received:

Thanks

If you are trying to connect to an XP machine, you have to enable "remote access". (Again sorry, I don't have an XP machine readily available to look). But you right click on "My Computer" and select properties. And I believe there is a "Remote" tab". And then enable it and you might have to put users in there as well to have access. Please give that a try, and if need be, I will get to an XP machine and give better directions.
Thanks
