Connecting to windows machine from linux machine

By default Linux has "rdesktop" program.
Problem will rise on windows machine(of course!!).

1.Go in Start -> Control Panel -> Windows firewall.
2.Goto "Exceptions" tab.
3.Check "Remote Desktop" entry.
4.Press OK.

5.Open System Properties menu (Computers -> Right Click -> Properties)
6.Goto Remote tab
7.In Remote Desktop menu, check "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer"
8.Press OK.

Other variants with similar setting are tsclient on Linux(which is for both VNC and rdesktop),vncviewer(again by default in Linux ,but need VNC on windows machine)
