In the SEIM Search Expressions lab walkthrough section, the lab directs me to open Remmina remote desktop client and use it to connect to another machine in the virtual environment. When I attempt to connect with the correct IP information I get the following result:
Lost Connection to RDP Server “x.x.x.x”
I have been able to confirm a ping from one device to the next within the virtual environment prior to this.
Hey there - I just tested this step and it worked as expected. Can you specify exactly when this error occurs? Is it before you enter the credentials, or afterwards? Does it fail immediately, or does it connect to the Windows desktop, then drop the connection?
The error messages I received only happen after I input the IP and press run in Remmina.
Okay, so you never get to the point where you’re prompted for credentials? That indicates a problem with the IP address you’re using.
Revisiting your screenshot, I think you have the wrong IP address for your Windows server. IP addresses ending in .1 are generally reserved for gateways in the lab environment, so my guess is you’re trying to RDP into your environment’s router, which won’t work.
Could you please try again and share the following screenshots: the results of ipconfig on the Windows server and the results of your attempt to connect to the Windows server IP address in Remmina (full screen - not just the isolated section of the terminal).
