How do I set the alternate address for a Citrix server on the ICA client when natting is involved?

The altaddr setting can only be set thru the BOSmanager software installed on a PC, this is done by right clicking on an LTC that appears in the BOSmanager and selecting "Properties", then clicking on the "Misc" tab and the clicking the ICA Global Settings button and then the altaddr can be set in the Firewall settings. After the change has been made it is necessary to send the configuration to the LTC thru the BOS by righting clicking the unit again and selecting Configurations and then Download to device.

Using the RDP session with 2000 Terminal Server I cannot get any sound.

Terminal  Services Server 2000 does not support sound, Terminal Services Server 2003 does.

How to I connect a Printer in an RDP session on LTC/WTC units?

1. Edit the properties of the session or Add it when creating the session, this is done on the “Options” tab of the session.

2. For the driver name enter the name of the driver as it would appear in Windows, i.e. HP Laserjet 3300 PCL6.  When the session connects it should connect the printer automatically to the Terminal Services Server and make it available to the user connecting the session.  This is only available with connecting to a Windows 2003 TS server and when version 5 is selected on the RDP session in the Options Tab.

Using an LTC thin client, I am running an RDP session and get the numbers 2,4,6,8 when using the arrow keys.

Uncheck the box in the Input Tab of the Terminal Properties to remove the problem. This is not a bug, it is a result of new keyboard mapping.

My RDP session won't work - name of session contains an apostrophe.

Create the session name without an apostrophe - Linux RDP sessions do not support.
