While trying to remote desktop to some servers/workstations, I found that the Vista mstsc client would connect but run so laggy as to be unusable, and result in a frozen remote desktop window that had to be closed from task manager. Yet from an XP machine the remote desktop to the afflicted hosts were all good.
After trouble shooting and googling the issue as Vista related, I eventually found this information and the solution to fixing the problem.
From an Admin command prompt:
[ " netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled " ]
the good intentioned auto tuning network stack thingy in vista, seems to not be supported in quite a few routers and firewall products, and I’ve yet to see an explanation from MS as to why they did not foresee this problem.
It happened quite a while ago for me, when there was little information on the web about a solution to the crippled remote desktop issue, my forums posts went unanswered of just attracted the usual upgrade to XP comment.
