RD disconnects

[Ken Doerbecker]

I have two remote offices with small LANs that connect to
my main office using the internet. There is a win2k
server running Terminal Services in application mode at
the main office and linksys befsx41 firewall/routers at
each location.
One remote is fine, the other experiences relatively
frequent disconnects (all 3 PCs at that location do this)
from the RD session. The problem location uses a wireless
ISP. The connection seems OK as wireless goes. I get 2-3%
packet loss with 30ms average response with 750ms max.
I assume this packet loss is causing my problem. Am I
correct in this asumption? How can I tell what is causing
a disconnect? Is there a configuration change that will
make RD more tolerant of network faults?
Thanks,
Ken

See MS KB Q216783:

Also, I would make sure that you upgrade the firmware on the Linksys
Routers. Lastly, if you are using the MTU setting, try reducing the number.
You could half the setting and gradually increase it until you're just shy
of the point where disconnects start to recur.

Are you using any firewalls or other equipment in the communication path?
Other settings may be necessary if you are.

Hope this helps,
