Re: Fails to spawn command line process

Matt

I know the server is listening because "telnet iphere 11965" gets me to a 
prompt. On the client side (XP sp1), i tried using both 127.0.0.1 and 
127.0.02:

serverhost aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
serverport 3389
listenip 127.0.0.x
command "mstsc c:\zebedee_MM.rdp"

with the zebedee_MM.rdp file reading:
full address:s:127.0.0.x:11965

(yes, the extra ":s" above is how the file is meant to be)

when I use .1 the rdp client gives instantlyme "the client could not 
connect. You are already connected to the console of this computer. A new 
console session could not be established."

when I use .2 the rdp client gives me "the client could not connect.to the 
remote computer" after about a second.

(BTW I think the localhost still is 127.0.0.1 on XP sp1 because when I ping 
127.0.0.2 I get a reply from 127.0.0.1)
