<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>OK. You said previously that the linux server DIDN'T
have X installed.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>If you can get a remote X session on the server it

<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Does the server have gnome or kde installed.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Try getting a FreeNX gnome session and see if you
can get a terminal</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>running, then at the command line try </font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2> rdesktop 192.168.201.9</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>( You do have rdesktop installed on the Centos machine,
don't you?? )</font></tt>

<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>That likely means either </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> you aren't running
from an X workstation</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>or</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> X11forwarding

<br><tt><font size=2> </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>If you can get a FreeNX gnome or KDE running a terminal</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2> ( it will do fine

<br><tt><font size=2> you can forget
