Remote access Windows System from Linux System
by Iankahn from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51V5B)
Hi, all. I'm having an issue, and I'm sure it's operator error. I hope this group can help out.
I am trying to remotely access a Windows 10 machine on my home network from my Linux Mint 18.3 desktop in my office. I installed Remmina and its RDP plug-in from Software Center on my system, and configured a connection to the Win10 desktop. Whenever I try to connect from Remmina, I get an error, "Unable to connect to RDP server <IP_Address>".
My target system is set up correctly. I can get to it via RDP from another Windows 10 system on my network. I have the connection in Remmina set up with the correct IP, correct user name/password, and using RDP as the protocol. I can ping the remote system in question from the Linux system, so I know it can be seen over the network.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help.
