I want to remote desktop between a laptop running Linux Mint (acting as the server) and a surface pro running elementary OS.
I can get this to work on Remmina but am wanting to have a multi monitor. Thus following this post I am trying xfreerdp.
Remmina works with the following settings:
Protocol: VNC - Virtual Network Computing
Server: xxx.xxx.x.x (my ip-adress)
Password: my_password
'Group', 'User name' and 'Repeater' are left blank.
However when I run following command:
xfreerdp /multimon /p:my_password /v:xxx.xxx.x.x
I get the error:
unable to connect to xxx.xxx.x.x:xxxx
Error: protocol security negotiation or connection failure
I have tried various other variations on this command, but I was unable to find anything to work (x2go also doesn't seem to let me connect). Does anyone know where I am going wrong with my xfreerdp command?

What do you mean by x2go won't let you connect? Any error messages?

@Goro I get the error "Connection refused" - but I haven't spent as long looking into this.

@Goro The thing is that it is letting me login via Remmina, which makes me think it is not a server issue - although i could be wrong. I will try and do some tests to see if there is a bug in my xfreerdp.
