I'm hoping someone will be able to shed a bit of light on this RDC problem...

I keep getting random dropouts when connecting from my laptop to my office pc using RDC (laptop is vista home and office pc is vista business). I checked the network connection and its fine and when i goto the office pc and login it shows the network connection as still connected.

I've tried googling this problem but had no luck finding a fix. Any ideas what could be causing this?
 


I've forwarded 3390 to my office pc ip, i'll let u know how this goes. Cheers!
 
Forwarding 3390, I'm assuming you made the registry fix to change the port to 3390, right? Did you make a firewall exclusion for 3390 if your windows firewall is on? did you reboot your PC after you made the change to 3390, and did you do a netstat -a to make sure your comp was listening on 3390?

That error message you are getting is just a generic message when you can't connect to the host. How advanced is the router at your office? see if you can open up some logs and see where its dropping.

I took Magicberry's advice and changed the port forwarding to 3389. I haven't made any changes tp the registry but i did google for the RDC port and it said 3390. I did netstat -a and i see LISTENING on port 3389.

My router is a NETGEAR Wireless N WNR2000. I checked the logs nothing flags up showing disconnecting. It seems that when i reboot the router RDC magically starts working again tho.

I've got teamviewer installed, it's not the best for high res. I'll use it if i can't get RDC to stop fookin up.
