Help needed: Remote Desktop from Ubuntu to Windows Vista Home Premium over IPv6

I'm looking for help:

I want to use my Ubuntu Linux to access the desktop of a Windows Vista Home Premium over IPv6.

I tried to use rdesktop, but that did not work (even not over IPv4 on a LAN). Reason: Home Premium cannot "receive" Remote Desktop sessions. See screendump: there's only a 'Remote Assistance' option, which is not Remote Desktop. (One of those reasons I don't like Windows.)
There seems to be a hack for this (see http://portal.tonychan.org/Default.aspx?tabid=58&EntryID=123), but that resulted in errors. I could try to solve that by de-activating UAC, but it all feels a bit ugly.

I then tried VNC, but all VNC version (original VNC, ultraVNC, tightVNC) seem to have small or big problems with Windows Vista.


So: tips welcome!



PS: Related, but no solution: Tiberius was able to 'Remote Desktop' to Windows XP! This was based on some ipv6 to ipv4 tunnel trick.

Remote Desktop Viewer VNC over IPv6: works on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty (Alpha 6)

Wow, this is cool: the Remote Desktop Viewer (VNC) in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty works over IPv6. I'm testing this on Jaunty Alpha 6 and it just works: type in the IPv6 address like [2001::1:2:3] or the full name, and connect. You can also use "vinagre <ipv6 name or address" from the command line.

BTW: a desktop that's viewable, is also announce via Avahi / Zeroconf / Rendezvous. That's handy on LANs.

PS: You can make your own Ubuntu desktop viewable via System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop.

Easy IPv6 on Ubuntu Linux: one step

Getting IPv6 connectivity on Ubuntu Linux is easy:

          sudo apt-get install miredo



That's it! The "ifconfig' should now show a teredo interface with your 2001:-IPv6-address.

Surf to http://www.whatismyipv6.net/ to check your IPv6 connectivity and see your IPv6 address.

Or surf to http://ipv6.google.com/ : you should see the dancing Google logo.

BTW: miredo is the open source implementation of teredo.
