Hi

Think you need to install gnome-rdp

You can do this through Synaptic (System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager) or via the terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and using the following command. It will ask for your password, type it in and press enter even though you won't see anything while typing the password, it is ok.

sudo apt-get install gnome-rdp

Good luck.

I think you can use the Application Terminal-Server-Client from Applications --> Internet . That supports VNC and RDP

Can you help with this problem?
