Remote Desktop login lose connection

I have a notebook with windows media center on it. It's hooked up to my
local wireless network. I used to be able to remote desktop into it,
but at some point it stopped working. I investigated and discovered
that as soon as the login process starts (i.e., notebook screen goes
back to welcome screen), the notebook looses it's network connectivity.


I tested this by pinging the notebook's IP during the login process.
Once this happens, RDT just hangs until it times out. I also tried to
do a "switch user" directly on the notebook to get it to go to the
welcome screen, but when I do that, the connectivity stays.

In the case then I try to use RDT and I lose the connection, when I
re-login at the notebook, I can see the wireless connecting and
obtaining an IP. It's very strange.

Does anyone have any ideas on where to look? Is this a wireless router
issue? I have a Microsoft MN-700 with the latest firmware.

One way to test is to hardwire the notebook to the router or a switch and
try again.

You also might check the event logs on the notebook to see if there are any
clues...

Hi

Looks to me more of a RDT problem rather than Wireless connection problem.

Disable RDT first and see if you get a normal Wireless connection.
