Running XP Pro, SP 3. When I use remote desktop to connect to a remote machine, it connects properly, but when I try to disconnect, I get an error and have to kill the mstsc process. Whether I log off the remote machine or simply click the ‘X’ to close the app, I get a dialog saying:
“The connection has been lost. Attempting to reconnect to your session…
The network is not available. The connection will be reinstated when the network is available”
The reconnection never succeeds. Hitting Cancel does nothing.
The network is fine. Other remote desktop sessions are still alive, and I can make new ones. This happens *every* time I use remote desktop, whether it’s to a real machine or a VM, and whether I’m in the office (gigabit wired connection) or VPN’ed in from home (wireless). I am having no other network-related problems.
I *think* this started when I installed SP 3 several months ago, but I can’t be sure. Has anyone seen this or know how I can fix it?
