Hi,

Using DSL connection w/Router, Win2k Pro, 1ghz cpu, 256mg machine to
connect to Win2k Server via Remote desktop connection. This used to
work just fine, but I stopped doing this for a month or so and now
when I try to connect I get a few seconds of nothing, then the
following error-
"The connection to the remote computer was broken. This may have been
caused by a network error."

This has happened 18 out of the 20 times I have tried over the past
few weeks. The inconsistency is really bothering me, I used to be
able to connect to this machine, and now I actually did it twice.

Is there any setting I need to double check on my machine, or the
server I am trying to connect to? I know my friend who has the server
can use Remote desktop from another machine on his network, so in
theory things are fine from the server side.

Thanks!

p.s.-I am unable to access the web site hosted on the server, my
browser seems to hang forever while trying to open the pages. I know
the site works and all my friends can access it.
 
Well, If you are able to connect at least once then your settings are probably ok
You are most likely seeing a network related issue. A trace would tell you for sure

Are you able to telnet to port 3389 or whatever the TS is set to listen on
