CentOS - Jun 2009 - can't access remote Windows 2008 desktop via Krdc / Remote Desktop

Hi all,

Does anyone know why CentOS 5.+3 + latest KDE won't connect to a
Windows 2008 server via Remote Desktop, yet it will work on a Windows
2003 server?

I can easily connect to a Windows 2003 server, using rdp:/196.34.x.x
and login and use the Windows 2003 server.

But when I try the same with a Widows 2008 server, it just fails. I
see if connecting, and then it "dies" without even displaying me the
login screen.

Is there something else I need todo to make it work?

You need to use latest version of rdesktop from rdesktop.sf.net to use 
it with windows 2008. Also, rpmforge has latest version packaged ...
