Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Power PC
I get the following message when I try to connect to my Windows Vista
laptop from my G5 OS X Leopard Mac.
- I am using RDC Beta 3 (080409).
- I use my Windows Vista laptop at work on a domain
(ntdev.corp.microsoft.com).
- I can ping my laptop via IP address from Mac.
- Using the Terminal app on my Mac, typing the command "telnet
windows_ip_address 3389" shows me "windows_ip_address: nodename nor
servname provided, or not known"
The Mac cannot connect to the Windows-based computer.
This problem can occur if:
- The Windows-based computer is not set up to accept remote connections.
- The Windows-based computer is not turned on.
- The Mac, or the Windows-based computer is experiencing network problems.
Try connecting to the Windows-based computer again, or contact your
administrator.
What are the troubleshooting steps to correct this problem?
