I'm trying to use the "Remmina Remote Desktop" application that came with my Ubuntu 14.0.4 (64 bit) install to connect to another ubuntu desktop. But anytime, I try to connect, I get the message: "unable to connect to RDP server myservername". I haven't "enabled" anything on the other server that I'm trying to connect to. Do i need to do that?
