I'm getting some strange connection problems when trying to remote desktop to a Vista box. It connects and works for a while then disconnects with the following message:

"Because of an error in data encryption, this session will end. Please try connecting to the remote computer again."

Any help would be great!

Are the two machines on the same LAN or are you connecting across a router, the Internet, etc? – boot13 Sep 2 '10 at 1:26
@boot13 The connection is via a VPN over the Internet. – Luke Quinane Sep 2 '10 at 1:40
Ah. Which VPN client are you using? You might want to read any documentation you can find on that client, looking for notes on using RDP. You could also use it to narrow down your search. Anyway, from what I've seen so far, this is one of those weird problems that a few people are having but nobody knows how to resolve (+1). – boot13 Sep 2 '10 at 5:22

From this thread, http://www.techzonez.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-9868.html, it sounds like you may have your Vista computer setup in the router as the DMZ. Other suggestions are to delete any network protocols except the basics to see if that fixes it.

Hope this helps

the remote computer is just connected to a basic switch, no DMZ setting. Both local and remote PCs only have IPv4 and IPv6. – Luke Quinane Sep 2 '10 at 1:16
