***SORRY can admin delete my prev post as my copy/paste went
wrong...thanks

Hmmmm where do I start

Tested all this in 2 dell laptops and one lenovo, tested using ubuntu
8.04/8.10/9.04 alpha 4.

Common factors : All use gnome desktop/rdesktop 1.6.0/all have intel
iwl3945 (but did buy an atheros card and tried it as well). All rdesktop
connections are over pptp vpn connection. all connect via command prompt

What goes wrong: rdesktop randomly freezes (anything from 1 second to
max of about 20min), no input via keyboard or mouse has any effect on
the rdp session.

What I have tested: Ubuntu 8.04/8.10/9.04A4 / Fedora 10 and Opensuse
11.1 all exhibit same problem.

Observations:

a wired pc running Ubuntu 7.04 runs 100% (running rdp 1.5.0)

a wired xp pro sp2 desktop PC works 100% fine

when rdesktop freezes if i am dont close it quickly it brings the whole
of gnome down in a hardlock

the vpn tunnel is still fully operational during rdesktop freeze (I can
ping PCs on remote lan/admin remote router and if i immediately restart
rdesktop it connects and works fine for 1sec to 20min as normal)

I came up with the bright idea (or desperate) of using XP Pro in a
virtualised environment with *ubuntu providing the vpn tunnel*, guess
what IDENTICAL behaviour, ie after random time xp remote desktop stops
responding in the same manner. Eventually comes up with error "the
connection was ended because of a network error".

If i try to setup/connect vpn tunnel in virt xp, it timesout with error
721 remote computer did not respond.

not sure, but i think this is a flaw in linux networking but posted it
here for others apraisal

i have been troubleshooting this for over 2 months now and am
sooooooooooooo frustrated :(
