wireless RDP problem on dlink router

psd99 · 28 Jun 2010 at 18:32

Hi guys,

I made the jump from sly to cable. Originally I had a netgear DG834 router (which was brilliant btw) and now I have a dlink router (not sure on model atm)

Well I got two PC's running here and 2 laptops.

The two PC's work as servers that distribute to the rest of my equipment such as xbox, ps3 etc.

I use my laptop to connect to both these pc's via RDP. To monitor and check anything that needs to be changed rather than going to the room etc.

Anyway to cut a long story short whenever I RDP to either machine
the connection seems to drop. I still have 5 out of 5 bars in xp it says connected. The reason I say connection drops is because I can no longer ping my gateway or use the net.

Then I have to disconnect from my network and rejoin back up.

Is there something I am missing in my dlink router page for RDP to actually work very well?

Or is the dlink a rubbish router and I should think about ditching it?

Could try port forwarding 3389 see if it makes a difference.

damn it didn't work a treat

so I have tested more again.

it works out my wireless inbuilt card in my asus 1005ha netbook is the problem.

when connected to the wireless network with this wireless atheros device
the connection to my network seems to hang.

i know this because when a cable is plugged in it works fine also when using another usb device wireless one it also works fine.

any ideas as to what is happening here?
what could possibly be on my wireless atheros device that is causing the problem?

It could be, have you tried upgrading the firmware on the DIR-615 to DD-WRT?

my other PCs work fine other adapters seem to handle it all well
