Clipboard is Breaking

[Will]

I have an ongoing problem connecting from a Windows XP client to a terminal
server in administration mode on a Windows 2000 server where the clipboard
works after I connect the RDP client, but after a few minutes the clipboard
stops working. I try to copy something from the Windows XP client and it
no longer is transferred to the Windows 2000 TS Host's clipboard.

I can simply disconnect, reconnect, and the clipboard works again. Three
to 10 minutes later, it breaks again. The pattern is infinitely repeatable.

Is there some setting on either client or host that would keep the clipboard
intact? Is there a third party application that might act as a clipboard
enhancement that would give me some additional capability here?

Re: Clipboard is Breaking

When clipboard pasting doesn't work anymore, is rdpclip.exe still
running, or has it crashed?
