You could try setting the screen geometry or colors to a value to see if it connects. I vaguely recall having problems connecting also. I think it worked when I specified -u and a valid username. It still went to the login screen and from there I just changed to username and logged in. It's a bit hazy but I think without specifying a user it wouldn't show up. Not sure why. Sorry I am not near a terminal to test it out. Hope it gives you something to work with. <div>On 16/08/06, Paul VanGundy <<a href="mailto:vangundypw@sau14.k12.nh.us">vangundypw@sau14.k12.nh.us</a> > wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">John, I don't know your network infrastructure so I can only speak assuming everything is wired correctly and configuration files are right. The fact that you can rdesktop into TS after you log into a terminal shows that something isn't right. Not necessary anything you're doing. The next thing I would ask is if anyone else is able to rdesktop into a Windows TS 2003 from the log in screen by doing the combination of CTRL+ALT+F2 or however the lts.conf file has it configured. We don't use K12LTSP anymore in our district as we have migrated to Ubuntu 6.06 with LTSP 4.2 so I am afraid I'm not going to be much more help, especially if this is a K12LTSP 5 issue, which it could be. I can tell you that SCREEN_02 = rdesktop -fa 16 ip.address.of.server works flawlessly in our district. -Paul -- Paul VanGundy Director of Technology Epping School District P: 603.679.8003 x105 F: 603.679.2196 <a href="mailto:vangundypw@sau14.k12.nh.us">vangundypw@sau14.k12.nh.us </a> Quoting john <<a href="mailto:lists.john@gmail.com">lists.john@gmail.com</a>>: > Hi Paul, > > I restarted LTSP 5.0.
