Before someone mentions it, I have already checked the Vista groups for
several weeks now and apparently this is something that is not popping
up with the beta/RC.
When I connect from my XP Pro workstation at work to my Vista home
system it connects OK but then the screen freezes. It will let me select
items either with the keyboard or mouse for a few seconds and then
nothing updates for 30-34 seconds. This has been pretty consistent. I
reduced the bandwidth stuff under the client (we have a T1 at work and I
have broadband at home) but nothing helps. I also checked the event logs
on both machines with no indication of what is happening. I created a
VPN connection and could connect from work to home but then Remote
Desktop would not let me login to either the internal IP or computer
name. I do it this way in reverse all of the time from home to work.
As a side note, I cannot ping beyond my home Netgear RT314 router with
the Vista system (IP or name addresses). I can ping within my home LAN.
I can also ping the WAN with a home laptop XP Pro system through the
router. Could this be related to the RD issue? I am thinking there is a
conflict with the 5 yr old router and Vista. I did disable autotuning as
someone suggested in the Vista general group but there was no change.
The strange part is there are no issues with web browsing with Vista...
Thanks,
Dave
