RDP connections keep dropping

connectioninternetremote desktop

I have an odd problem on my notebook (HP Pavilion dv7). My Internet connection seems OK for the most part. But lately I've been having trouble with Remote Desktop connections. While I can connect to remote computers, the connection is very flaky, and usually drops after a few seconds. Sometimes it'll successfully reconnect automatically, and sometimes not. But even after successful reconnection, it'll just drop again after a few seconds.

This appears to be independent of which RDP host I'm connecting to, and which network I'm connected to locally, whether wireless or wired.

Other remote control apps like TeamViewer and Ammyy seem to work fine.

Any ideas?

This sound like an administrative problem the fact that VNC protocol seems the to be working (teamviewer and ammyy are VNC clients) fine. Which would indicate that it is either a User are RDP setting on the server. If your company use's an Active Directory get them to check the session limit under the sessions tab(If it's windows of course), also if this is happening to more that one user it, get the administrator to check the RDP Session Host Configuration for the override setting.
