I need to connect to a remote server running Windows Server 2003 Web
Edition from my machine. Used to have no problem from WinXP(SP2), but
since clean-installing Vista, I am having difficulties:
I am using the same wireless connection and network/router I used
under XP, and get sustained WAN rates of 3-4Mbps;
I can use Remote desktop to connect to the server without error
messages, but it is slow slow slow.
I mean two minutes for the desktop icons to come through the pipe.
Typing a sentence takes 20-30seconds to show up on the screen, etc.
If I use GoToMyPC to access a remote machine running WinXP, then use
THAT remote desktop to connect to my server, then I can rock and roll
-- it is actually x-times faster to go through two remote machines
using two services.
Which tells me the issue is prbably some sort of setting. I have
tried all various combinations of user settings under the RD
connection, but to no avail. I read somewhere that changing UDP size
settings works, but I have no clue how to do that.
Sorry in advance if I should be including some information that I am
not -- clearly I am an idiot already for having to ask for help --
please don't expect too much from me.
Thanks in advance for any information or assistance you can provide,
Shannon

Quite right -- babbling with the sleepless insanity of a long-overdue
"full re-install" -- my apologies.
RDP worked like a charm under XP -- that's what has me flummoxed (you
know you are sleep deprived when you actually think to use words like
that).
So I am faced with:
1) Worked great under RDP/XP on this machine and from this network
location yesterday
2) Still works great from GoToMyPC through another XP box, and from
the XP ox at the office
3) General WAN throughput has been fast from this machine since the
Vista install, and
4) Other "atypical" WAN porting connctions (scan retreival, printing,
etc) are not noticeably slower at all
I tried TS Gateway on, off, and auto -- all worked but all were slow.
I don't really know if a gateway would make that much of a difference,
but hey -- it said "Advanced," so I had to screw with it.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, and in advance again for any
insight you may have.

It is slow from startup to shutdown -- almost as though that port were
being limited to like 4,800 baud. I fired up an XP test install I
have on a USB external, and it worked great from this machine, NIC,
etc -- so everything in my little brain is polarized toward something
in Vista, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what -- nothing else
I can find in any of the network connections I have is impacted like
that.
Thanks again for your help and any thoughts you may have,
Shannon
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
and to re-enable it
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
In some cases you may need to use this command in combination with the above
netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
If turning off the auto-tuning works then something on your network doesn't
support this feature which is too bad because it can really speed up things
over time.
