Hi ,
I'm new to the Linux mint OS, so far it is good and i'm having trouble in connecting through RDP via hostname to linux mint system.
able to connect via IP address. when i'm pinging from windows 10 machine with it is hostname. getting below mentioned notification.
Message :
"Ping request could not find host MintDesktop1. please check the name and try again."
I tried looking into the google to quick solution, but those are not really useful .
Thanks
Rahul

Re: not able to access linux mint with Hostname from windows 10
If the Mint box has a fixed IP address, put it in the Windwoes machine's hosts file, in this path:
e,g.
Code: Select all
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Code: Select all
192.168.0.11 MintDesktop1

Re: not able to access linux mint with Hostname from windows 10
Another possibility: Windows 10 is the first Windows operating system that speaks mDNS natively so you should be able to do this in Win10:
The
Code: Select all
ping MintDesktop1.local
.local
attached to the end of the host name is the mDNS part.Please add a [SOLVED] at the end of your original subject header if your question has been answered and solved.
