| Damn that was gonna be my line. Exactly what kind of error are you
getting? I assume the remote
| desktop is enabled(on Vista) and the account you are using to log on
has a password. I think those

member of the remote desktop
| users group as well.

As I've said before, I can connect from another Vista machine.  The
issue is not the account. It's something that a "real" Windows remote
desktop client does (or doesn't do) that rdkestop doesn't (or does) do.
~ There are other reports of this I found on Google. It looks like an
update to rdesktop is necessary, but 1.5 seems to be the latest version.
