I hope this is the correct newsgroup. I have tried to hire local computer
businesses in the area to help configure my network but they have not been
able to solve my problem. The business that setup my network is no longer in
business. Now I am trying to solve it myself.
With Windows XP pro (my work) and home (my house) I remote with windows
remote desktop to a Windows 2003 server R2 for business purposes (POS
application that is currently not being used daily because of this problem).
I can connect but the connection is flaky.
What I have tried: Installed Keepalives on server and remote computers.
Changed ISPs except at server location. I have had the ISP at the server
location tested several times by the ISP. The DSL does not drop the
connection as often as the remote desktop has to reconnect.
Any advice on how to proceed? I would like my business to work smoothly on
POS.
What do I mean by flaky? When I connect using RD, many times a day the RD
screen disconnects and
reconnects automatically right where I left off. It only stays disconnected
for about 20 seconds. By checking my event viewer I can see the disconnect
and reconnect time of the remote printers: How often it disconnects ranges
from twice in one minute to about three hours.
My Windows server 2003 setup has a wired linksys router behind he DSL modem.
Both have port 3389 forwarded to the server. Attached to the router is a
LAN whose computers run the desired POS application on the server without
flaw.
I have also tried disabling the screensaver on the server as well as on the
group policies with no luck of creating a more stable connection for the
remote location. I have tried to create a VPN with the router but it
disables the POS application from the LAN when I assign the IP security
policy.
