Remote Desktop Connection Breaks
I upgraded my Home Theater PC to Vista Ultimate this past weekend; everything
seemed to go OK. I can establish RDC by enabling Network Discovery on the HTPC and access the machine via RDC from my office PC (Vista U) or my laptop (Vista HP). All machines are in same workgroup name. But, Network Discovery gets reset to off for some reason on the HTPC and I cannot connect a cause with the event. The connection to the HTPC is wireless via Linksys WRT54GS router and onboard network adapter. I used RDC on the machine before when it was running WinXPMCE2005SP2, same network, etc. and it never broke. Please provide some possible causes of Network Discovery being (randomly?) reset to off. Thanks, -- Grandan

I'm no expert at analyzing the event log but here are events that could be
related. These are Warning level events: A. Event 4001 (7 occurences in last 24h) WLAN AutoConfig service has successfully stopped. B. Event 4226 (2 occurences in last 24h) TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts. Network Location Awareness Service is Started/Auto Dependencies: 1. Network Store Interface Service is Started/Auto .........NSI Proxy Service (I cannot find this in list of services in comp mgmt) 2. Remote Procedure Call Service is Started/Auto .........DCOM Service Process Launcher is Started/Auto 3. TCP/IP Protocol Driver (I cannot find this in list of services in comp mgmt) Is there any intel in this data? -- Grandan "Sooner Al [MVP]" wrote: "Grandan" wrote in message ...

When I installed Vista U, I did not do the 'upgrade' path to save any
settings, files, etc; they called it a clean install but of course it was done on the same drive that had the previous OS. Afterwards, once I determined that all was well, I deleted the old computer stuff after copying music, pictures, etc. But all apps were installed from new downloads or CDs. Don't think I'm gonna do that again just to solve this RDC problem since everything else seems to be working flawlessly. I only use it for music, movies, and occasional TV recording, so there aren't many apps on it and not a lot of churn. I drive a front projector with it at 1080p, so I can't use another local monitor but rely on RDC to do maintenance, rips, etc. There must be some simple setting that I haven't found yet that will fix this problem, so I'll keep looking. I am pretty sure that Vista found a new network adapter driver when it did the windows update scans and I loaded it, so if the problem persists, I may drop back to the driver that came with the mobo CD to see if that helps. !Al, thanks very much for the attention and suggestions! -- Grandan "Sooner Al [MVP]" wrote: "Grandan" wrote in message ...
