Re: Black Screen with Remote Desktop...

I tried THIS:

============================================

I believe I got it to work. This article (Q159211) was invaluable:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q159211

Under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters, I added
two
registry entries:

- MTU with value of 1400 (as derived per the article with "ping -f -l
nnnn")
- EnablePMTUBHDetect with a value of 1

The first value didn't do anything, but adding the second one made it
work.
Perhaps the second one on its own is sufficient, but it was late and I
didn't determine whether it was the combination of both or only the
latter.

At this point, it works, but I don't know if I'd call this a
"solution". I
still don't know why my machine is acting differently from the other
machines here. It's definitely a "workaround" or perhaps simply a
"hack".
But it does work, so I'm satisfied.

Hope that helps someone else with this problem.

Looks like it actually worked! :)

I have two different Win 2000 Servers. With Machine #1, no one seems
to have a problem using remote desktop to access it. However with
machine #2, I have one WinXP Pro machine that when ANYONE tries to use
remote desktop all they get is a black screen!

I have not had any problem using 4 or 5 other WInXP machines trying to
access both Win2000 Servers.

I did a little googling, but nothing seems to apply.

This is strickly LAN traffic, there is NO VPN involved, and we have a
gigabit network, so there is no conjestion.

I have no problem pining both servers from all machines. I have tried
different screen resolutioins, all to no avail.

In this case, both the client and server machines are using Intel Pro
1000 GT NICs, with latest drivers....

HELP!
