So we all know that vista has a new TCP/IP Stack. Oh you don't? Well welcome to bleeding edge I guess. No time to talk about that it will be another blog article I am sure. Moving fast forward to the topic.
I have and will be RDPing (sounds weird and gross right?) into my windows 2003 server for work and such(until the windows 2008 server rollout at least(yes I am a beta tester but that has nothing to do with this article either.
First Step:
Turn off Cleartype fonts on windows 2003 server.
Next Step:
In Vista: Open up an administrative Command Window (right-click, Run as administrator), and type in the following command:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
You may also need to type in:
netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
The changes take effect straight away, with no reboot needed. Bear in mind that this is a global change, so it may really be worth your while to sit down and nut through your network's QoS settings to get things running happily without disabling auto-tuning.
Also remember if you run into issues please don't blame me.
Enjoy!
