RDP connection constantly drops.

i have new dell latitude e4310 windows 7 32-bit installed. browsing online , checking e-mail works fine. however, want rdp windows 2000 server terminal services, connection drops after variable amount of time of staying connected. connection may last few seconds several minutes , screen freezes several seconds, after error message stating "your remote desktop session has ended," appears. problem not occur on lenovo thinkpad t400 running windows 7 32-bit.

 

steps have tried:

1) allowed rdp through firewall.

2) disabled firewall.

3) done "clean boot" startup items , 3rd party services disabled.

4) used wireless lan or wired ethernet.

5) installed latest drivers both wlan , lan.

6) updated windows 7 (client) , windows 2000 (server)

7) reformatted , done clean install of windows 7 network drivers.

i not computer guru nor person set network. if knows how solve, work-around, or diagnose problem, i'd eternally grateful.

launch elevated command prompt -> type netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled netdma=disabled autotuninglevel=disabled chimney=disabled -> hit enter -> see if rdp anymore stable.
