New remote desktop connection client - buggy?

[Guest Russell Campbell]

I download Microsoft's new RDC client and I'm having difficulty with it. It

seems to pause at times and sometimes won't get me logged in properly. I'm

a little unsure about my server at present and that's really all I'm

attaching to at the moment (over the LAN), so I can't be sure if it's the

server or the new version of RDC. Can anyone tell me if they have seen a

degradation in the quality of RDC with this new version?

 

Thanks,

What do you mean with "new"? 6.0? 6.1 beta?

Which OS are you running on the client and the server?

No, no, not the beta. Don't have time to fool with that. 6.0. This is on

WinXP SP2 with all updates applied (of which, RDC 6 was one of them).

I haven't noticed any problems with 6.0. But if you only connect to

W2K and 2003 servers, there's not much gain either, so you could

just uninstall it and go back to version 5.x

Would be interesting to know if the problem disappears then. If it

doesn't, you know that there's some sort of problem with your

server or the connection.

Well . . . another variable . . . my router died on my this evening. So it

also could have been the router going through its death throws prior to its

final descent into oblivion (dern thing was only about 9 months old). I'll

just have to keep my eye on this. Thank you for your responses.

Re: New remote desktop connection client - buggy?

 

Even with a new router now installed, I still get strange behavior. I was

just performing a copy of data from one drive to another. I moved the

"Copying . . ." dialog out of the way. It did an outline drag to the place

I was moving it to, but then the "Copying . . ." window did not move. It

seemed to pause the copying (or screen refreshes weren't coming over), so

the "Copying . . ." window stayed where it was and appeared as if it had

hung up. But I waited it out, having seen this since installed the 6.0

version, and about 25 to 30 seconds later the "Copying . . ." window

suddenly jumped to where I'd moved it and the copying seemed to start up

again. I think I'm going to move back to the previous version since this

new version has given me troubles in other ways as well.
