I exist only in my own mind ...
I like to access my Vista desktop from my XP laptop via a wireless link. For a while now I have been suffering annoying freezing of the RDP connection which I fixed by running repair on the laptop's wireless interface.

But now I think I have a solution - at least I haven't had a freeze for an hour now, whereas it froze after a few minutes, especially if there was no mouse/keyboard activity on the laptop.

If you are having the same problem, try running:

netsh interface ip set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1500 store=persistent

on the laptop - either from a cmd interface or from start/run.

Note you will need to edit the bit between quotes to reflect the settings on your machine (hint, from a cmd line run ipconfig /all and look fro te name of te interface you want to change.

Thanks, but the laptop I had this problem on was stolen a couple of weeks ago :( but will remember this if I see such a problem again.
