Package: rdesktop
Version: 1.5.0-1
Severity: important
I try to connect to a WinXP-system. The desktop comes up, at it works
for a few seconds, but then
the connection freezes: the window is no longer updated. rdesktop
isn't dead itself, I can still
change to full-screen or back (though the window becomes blank then).
If I close rdesktop, I have no problem connecting again -- to get
another few seconds.
Could this be a problem with the amd64 build of rdesktop? It worked
fine on my old 32-bit computer.
FYI, the WinXP is a 32 bit system, and I connect via PPTP VPN.
If you have some ideas of what to look for, I'll be happy to help
tracking down the problem.

I've done some further testing, and it turns out that the MTU on my
eth0 was somehow set to 576. Changing the MTU to 1500 solved the
problem.
I'm sorry for reporting this as a bug against rdesktop. I should have
thought of an MTU-problem from the start. Now, I'll go hunting for
the reason for this strange MTU...
