Dears,

Does the X11 front end xfreerdp accept server host name? I type the following command but get error:
> xfreerdp -a 24 -g 1024x768 -z -x lan --rfx -p 111111 -u administrator testpc
where "testpc" is the host name of RDP server Windows 7 SP1, with IP 192.168.1.8. And it gives error saying "transport_connect: getaddrinfo (System Error)".
When I user the IP 192.168.1.8, xfreerdp works well.
I can ping both the host name "testpc" and the IP 192.168.1.8.
