I found this was commented on once before when I searched google and saw a few replies. Let me give you the rundown on what's happening.
Setup: Desktop running XP home w/sp2, is wired to the Linksys Router. Laptop running XP home w/sp2, is wireless connected to the router. 802.11g -Signal strength was at full, 5 bars, and throughput was at 54mbps. -There are 4 wireless phones in the house, 2.4ghz. I even unplugged them, and removed the batteries from the cordless handsets. -Tried channel 6 and 11, same problems. Linksys Router, it's still setup to basically default setting, the QoS feature is not enabled. Quality of Service, it is suppose to balance out the bandwidth usage over the network, default setting is disabled, so that's not limited the connection speed to the laptop. I have Windows firewall disabled on both machines. Symptom: I am trying to connect to the desktop from the laptop. Once I'm connected, I get about 10-30 seconds before "Error, read: Connection reset by peer (10054)" But wait, there's more...After that error pops up and VNC closes, I get the little windows wireless connection bubble from the system tray saying a connection has been made. Well I thought I had a connection? WTF gives... So I open AOL and run AOL for about 2 hours running AOL Radio, getting constant streaming audio, then I try VNC again. It lasted for 20 seconds, I almost thought it was working...nope. same problem. But, AOL gets kicked off as well, because...the wireless connection is disconnected. By the time AOL flipped out, and the VNC error popped up, the Windows Wireless connection icon in the sys tray had popped up again saying that I've made a connection again. Obvious Theory: When running VNC something causes the wireless connection to drop completely. Duh. But why? And how can I fix it? Anyone? I have not tried this yet, to help confirm its only the wireless causing the problem...Tonight I will connect to the router with the laptop via a Cat 5 cable instead of wireless. Thanks everyone!
