Windows Forum / Windows XP / Remote Desktop / March 2004RDP doesnt map drives or printers
I'm trying to connect to a Win2K terminal server with XPP using RDP over a DSL connection. Although the local resources are checked to connect automatically client drives and printers - they don't!! Can anyone throw some light on this one Drives won't be redirected. The RDP version on the host (the Win2K terminal server) doesn't support this function. There is UI about it on the server, but that is for Citrix add-on pieces. Printers should work, but the port must be redirected (so what port is the printer using at the client?) and the driver for the printer must be present at the server (please be very careful about the quality of the drivers you risk crashing your server with!) > I'm trying to connect to a Win2K terminal server with XPP using RDP over a > DSL connection.
