Hi there,

well.. i do have the same issue.
am using Vitsa as a client to access the TS Win2003 Server ent edition.
in my case, whenever i try to connect to the TS, it takes long time until the user name n password window appears!
i tried the above mentioned way and it didnt work….

Other servers can be accessed easily without any trouble! AND without implementing the above??!!

PS. sometimes it works fine without any delay and sometimes it takes time.. , its not stable!

This is the best post I have read all year.

If I had one dollar for every minute I sat waiting out the freeze in remote desktop I’d be rich.

Thanks

many thanks buddy – I was almost going to uninstall the “Vista” resources-hungry-beast and go back to xp, you saved me a lot of hours and the money I invested in the worthless vista pro
cheers

I started having this problem after I installed D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router Dir-655 ver 1.02. Above solution does not work for me. Could someon help? Thanks.

Thank you Marcel. It was driving me round the bend. Vista Remote Desktop would work wired connection to XP , but not via Wireless. Changing the MTU size of the wireless connection worked great. This should be a technet article…

For me a similar solution worked, see:

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface “Wireless Network Connection” mtu=1440 store=persistent

(presuming your wireless interface is called Wireless Network Connection

You know what… this doesn’t work for me either. I think it could either have to do with a networking issue (either at your location, or at the location of the remote computer) or someone has suggested to me that it is due to a lack of resources on the remote computer. Either way, I have not yet found a solution to my problem and I am getting very frustrated.

This did not work for me. I still get the: The connection has been lost. Attempting to reconnect to your session…

Connection attempt: x of 20

Any more options

Thanks
