I used to see something like this under 2000 every once in a while, but I never determined the cause and I haven't seen it under XP/2003/Vista. What other software have you installed? Is this on the campus network? DHCP? When it stops responding, is there another machine on the same local segment you can try connecting to it with? -- Jason Coleman Academic Computing and Network Services Michigan State University 517-432-7245 -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Peter J Murray Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 11:19 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] remote desktop puzzler Hello I'm having a weird problem with remote desktop on a new computer. It's an Optiplex 745, and what happens is that remote desktop stops answering after a while, but will always work after a reboot. I've checked the following: 1) No RD or Terminal Services events in the event log besides the normal the service has started. 2) Using Windows Firewall, port 3389 open 3) Remote Desktop enabled and user has permissions to use it (it works until it stops listening). 4) All patches and such have been installed. 5) Freshly formatted machine, no RD problems on other machines. The same configuration works on a lot of other machines. Googling isn't very helpful, I get the idea that it either works really well, or it's a fairly obvious firewall problem when you do have problems. The lack of entries in the event log regarding a stoppage is really not helpful.
