My keystroke responses are very slow on terminal services' client for Windows 2000, over WAN. How can I reduce the delay for the local keystroke echo?

what is you bandwith anyway

you can try a few things to enhance performance
! disable active desktop
! disable the clock in the taskbar (it refreshes constantly)
set the lowest possible color range e.g. 256 or less

I don't know your specifics but I would suggest shutting off any audio settings on your client. This is especially useful if you are using a Citrix client and server. In W2K terminal services you can change your client connection properties to a lower resolution. Also, if there is a wallpaper running on your server that is showing up over the terminal connection get rid of it. This will eat up your bandwidth. One more thing you can try is turning on data compression. Hope this helps.

use the RDP client. its the same version that comes with XP Pro. you can download it from Microshaft, it runs on all 32-bit windoze. create a connection and go to the "experience" tab and set it to 56kbs.

this will optimize the connection for slow WAN links.
