Re: Tunneling Terminal Server Client on WinXP?

Hi,

This is caused by the fact that WinXP includes a small 'Terminal Server' as
a native feature. In WinXP this is known as 'Remote Desktop'. To enable this
you must right click on My Computer and choose properties. Then choose the
Remote Desktop tab and remove the tick from the Remote Desktop option
(normally found as the second of the two option on the tab). I'm using WinXP
as the TS client to connect to Win2K servers this way and it works without
problems. 
For some reason (can't quite remember why) I also chose to use 127.0.0.2 as
the localhost connection. In case you can't get it to work after disabling
Remote Desktop, please try to switch to 127.0.0.2. That might just do the
trick.

Hi Matt,

I'v had the same problem. I'v copied the 'old' terminal client (that comes
with Windows2000 server), and put it in a separate directory. This client
allows a connection to localhost -> problem solved.

There is also a alternative way (although i'm not sure anymore if it works).
Copy the XP terminal client executable to a separate directory.  Right click
the executable, select property's and switch to the tab compatibility.
Select NT 4.0 or 2000 as OS Version.
