In the above-mentioned article, Tom Keating describes how he has found the
issue in Windows Vista which causes Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) to either
fail to connect, or operate extremely slow.
In my experiences, I was trying to connect to Windows 2003 Server and
Windows XP based systems from my Windows Vista (Home Premium) operating
system using RDC. Each time I would try, the connection would stop
completely after opening the window and drawing a small portion of my remote
system's desktop.
After searching the internet for over an hour, I found Mr. Keating's article
and executed the following instructions:
1) Open Command Prompt (START - PROGRAMS - ACCESSORIES - COMMAND PROMPT) as
an Administrator by right-clicking on Command Prompt.
2) Type: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
This command disables TCP Auto Tuning which is the cause of this particular
problem. To re-enable it, execute the following:
1) Open Command Prompt (START - PROGRAMS - ACCESSORIES - COMMAND PROMPT) as
an Administrator by right-clicking on Command Prompt.
2) Type: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
If you're technically savvy, there's much more to this issue (fine tuning
the problem, etc), so I recommend reading this article in Mr. Keating's blog.
But for the layman, this quick fix will solve the problem of not being able
to connect to <Vista Operating Systems.
And to Microsoft - recognize this problem and PUT A SOLUTION IN THE
KNOWLEDGEBASE!
Enjoy and good luck!
