I have a remote windows 2000 Advanced server that I usually logon to using terminal service.
I have installed the dude on that server and started discovering the network, and it is ok.
The problem is that I cannot see anything on the map (Blank) if I logon through the terminal service.
When connecting to that server using my local console, I can see everything normal.
Check your RDP client options

Which RDP client option you mean? where is that?
Can you please explain more?
Terminal server client, the program you use to connect to the server..

Thank you for your help Diganet,
I am asking for which “option” that can help me overcome this problem, not which client.
I would like to ask, if you have a similar environment (using terminal service to access a windows server that has dude server on it)?
Try to set the color option of the connection to more than 256 colors.
I think you have got it, Actually I set my client to 32bit colors, but when I logon to the server, I found it set to no more than 256 colors, and you cannot change it.
I have tried other methods to access the server remotly, which allowed me to change the color depth, and it worked.
I don’t know where is the problem, and why dude doesn’t display maps at 256 colors.
I rely mainly on remote desktop in my work, and I hope there is a fix for this issue.
Update the map display over rdp problem doesn’t exist with v2.2. Only with v3B4.
The problem remains in v3B5. Please tell us if there is a setting to overcome this problem. I believe it is easy, as it doesn’t exist in v2.2
I cannot set my terminal servers to more than 256colors, and actually I don’t want to, as it will affect bandwidth.
Windows 2000 Server does not do over 256 colors on Terminal Services unless you install Cirtix (or possibly something similar).. The version of RDP that came with Windows Server 2003 was the first to allow over 8-bit color.. do you have low bandwidth from your PC to the server? if not just install the client locally on your machine and connect to the server that way.. that is how I run and it works great..

Thanks “s0kud0” for the technical analysis of the problem, it was helpful.
For the client server issue, this the way I manage now, but in fact I don’t understand why it doesn’t show maps in 256 colors in dude v3.x while it is available in v2.x !
Actually I have tested Dameware mini remote control, and surprisingly it showed the map over 4bit color depth.
Anyway, I really consider this as a minor issue, and it shouldn’t take from the precious time of the dude developers whom I thank them very much and greatly value their work.
