I used to use this program with no problems linking my Power Mac and my desktop PC. However, I recently got rid of my desktop PC and now have a Dell notebook so everything is wireless. My problem is when I launch RDC (1.0.3) it starts to connect like normal to Windows but it freezes soon after because I lose my wireless internet connection on the notebook. What can I do so it doesn't drop the connection when I launch RDC?

I'd guess the problems are unrelated... your dropping WiFi is the problem, and RDC is just sulking when it can't connect.

You could eliminate that by running a VNC server on the Windows machine and a VNC client on the Mac and see if the same problem happens

I use RDC a lot to connect to both machines here and in remote data centres and don't have a problem... I've got timeouts on remote machines set to 10 mins, so if my WiFi (or GPRS) connection drops I've still got time to get back in and resume !
