I go from my gentoo laptop running fluxbox to all sorts of different |
37 |
computers running windows RDP constantly -- I use KRDC. When it fails |
38 |
on the wallet, just ok it and you should get the windows login screen |
39 |
anyway --I would say the bigger problem is his connection to the |
40 |
internet. It is LIKELY that his ISP does not have those ports open, for |
41 |
inbound (a way to get more money) that is the way our ISP here is - I |
42 |
cant even get NTP through :( |
43 |
|
44 |
Contact me off list if you need more help -- it works slick for me |
