Host Computer Loses Network Connectivity Upon Remote Connection

[Josh K]

I just installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client on my iMac (Intel). I
was able to connect to my remote computer (a Windows XP Pro laptop in another
part of the house). I saw my remote computer's desktop but then the remote
screen appeared to lock up. I went to check the laptop and it had lost its
connection to my wireless network. I had to reconnect. This happened every
time I made an RDC connection from my iMac. Any ideas what might be causing
it? My PC antivirus is AVG and I have not tried disabling it. I do not use
any firewall software. Please let me know if you need more info.
