Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a workstation connection issue I have. I am a newbie to terminal servers but have been playing around with an old Eizo eClient 530L and a two test servers, one running windows 2000 and another running windows 2003.
I can connect to both of these servers without a problem using my home PC running windows XP / Remote Desktop Connection. The problem is, I want to use the old 530L.
Using the 530L, I can connect to the windows 2000 server no problem but only with 256 colour display. I read somewhere that this is the limitation of windows 2000 terminal server.
I thought if I tried using the Server 2003 test server I would get full colour but I cannot get the 530L to connect to it. Is this because of the different versions of RDP on the 2003 server and 530L? I read somewhere that the terminal client must be running RDP5.1 to be able to connect to a 2003 server runnning RDP 5.2.
So I can see two possible solutions here:
Upgrade the RDP version on the Eizo 530L to get it to connect to the 2003 test server.
Try using 'Citrix MetaFrame' on the 2000 server as I read this give more colours if I use the 530L in ICA mode.
Are either of these solutions even possible? I have provided a diagram of my current network setup.
ANY information is appreciated as this is driving me nuts!! Thanks IN advance.
