Meaning, you've invoked 'rdesktop 10.0.0.1' (or any other IP address),
and got the same error:
ERROR: getaddrinfo: No address associated with hostname
This is VERY strange. Can you please try running rdesktop like this
(replace 10.0.0.1 with a real IP):
strace -o /tmp/rdesktop rdesktop 10.0.0.1
I like to see what's really goin' on there. Please attach /tmp/rdesktop
to your e-mail, or put in on a pastebin.

Ok. And, this Windoze host, does it use the same DNS settings as yours?
