Description Carlos Esparza E. 2009-05-09 23:47:10 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Im trying to connect to my remote desktop running on windows xp from my laptop on ubuntu 9.04

It just connects for a little while but there's no image there. I tried everything but it doesn't seem to work. By the other hand, i tried to access with the following command:

rdesktop 192.168.0.1:3329

and it worked with no problems. I hope you guys can fix it because i love the functionalities that vinagre seems to have.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Vinagre
2. Type an already tested ip and port
3. And then see how black can blackness be. LOL.


Actual results:
Already described.

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
YES.

Other information:
Nope.

Vinagre currently only works with VNC. RDP is planned to a new version.
