Recently i wanted to access windows xp system from debian Linux Machine but when i tried to access through in built remote desktop program in debian i could not connect to my XP system so i though of giving a try using VNC, it was a success and worked like a charm below is the simple steps on how to do it
- Setup your Windows System
1. First of all install VNC server(hardly 1mb) on your system if it is already installed ignore this step
2. Start the VNC Server on your Windows XP operating system from start menu
3. Now right click on the VNC server icon in the system tray at right bottom corner-->select "options" and set password in authentication tab for as shown in below PIC(OPTIONAL)
Note: VNC server should be running on your windows system else you cannot access it throught your linux machine VNC viewer
2. Start the VNC Server on your Windows XP operating system from start menu
3. Now right click on the VNC server icon in the system tray at right bottom corner-->select "options" and set password in authentication tab for as shown in below PIC(OPTIONAL)
Note: VNC server should be running on your windows system else you cannot access it throught your linux machine VNC viewer- Now setup Linux Machine
1. First of all install vnc viewer you can download it at below link
http://packages.debian.org/sid/xvnc4viewer
2. Install the xvnc4viewer
$ sudo dpkg -i xvnc4viewer_4.1.1+X4.3.0-31_i386.deb
(file name may differ)
3. Once successfully installed run the vnc viewer by typing below command in terminal and give the authenticated password set in windows vnc server when prompted as show in in below pic
$ xvnc4viewer
Now you can access windows xp machine from any linux operating system as shown in below PIC
If there is any other way other than VNC do let us know, i doubt we cannot connect with inbuilt linux remote desktop software directly without vnc correct me if i am wrong
