Welcome to EOS!

:grin:

Remmina is my go-to in this area. You will need the remmina-plugin-rdesktop from AUR:

yay remmina-plugin-rdesktop

Then run remmina, and add the RDP server as per usual, save+connect.

Also of note: Anydesk is a great tool for cross-platform remote fix-ups that I am finding I need to help far-flung family members. This is also in the AUR.
Or try Supremo, which runs ok-ish on Wine.

You don’t need remmina-plugin-rdesktop from the AUR.
Just use freerdp from the official repos. In my experience it’s better nowadays. I think all features freerdp once lacked are available nowadays. Also the AUR package hasn’t seen an update since december 2019.

If all the things you mentioned in your first post aren’t working, then it’s not a problem of the app. Could be firewall settings, wrong config, etc.

You need to install the freerdp package via

sudo pacman -Syu freerdp

Then, inside Remmina, you get the option to choose RDP as a protocol. Specify the server, username and password and everything should work. If it doesn’t you need to know why your network won’t let you connect to it.

Also maybe try the IP of the computer you want to connect to and not the device name. That may help.
