I just got a imac (my first non MS machine in 15 years!). Downloaded
RDC and it installed fine. I am trying to connect to a Win 2003
server, but I keep getting the error "cannot find the remote computer,
make sure you have typed the correct name...etc.). The Win server is
set up and terminal services work perfectly well. several other
computers (windows based) connect to this computer using RDP. In fact
through the imac, I can connect to this same server using finder /
network...... Can read and write files to the server this way without
a problem using the same username and password I use in RDC. In
addition, I have installed Parrallels Desktop For Mac (which allows
you to install another operating system i.e. Win XP in a Virtual
Machine environment) and I have no problem connecting to the server
using this RDP running on the VM which is on the mac.
So I can connect to the Win server through various ways, but try as I
might, I cannot seem to connect using the RDP downloaded from this
site. I have rebooted, turned off firewalls, uninstalled and re-
installed RDP....done all the usual things.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this?
Thanks

Try to login using the IP-adres of the W2K3-server. Alternatively, add
a period (".") after the W2K3-system's name (like "server.") that'l
probably work.
