W2K Terminal Server reboots due to XP RDP connection

[arrow12man]

Hi,

I have reproduced this several times and was wondering if anyone has come across this issue. I created an RDP connection to administer my W2K Terminal Server from my XP Professional workstation. When I establish a connection, the server either: 1. reboots 2. freezes with graphic corruption (vertical lines on the screen) 3. has this error:

Stop 0x0000007F (0x00000008, 0, 0, 0)UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

This error is a double fault most commonly caused by faulty hardware (occasionally software). Since the server is otherwise running quite nicely, and since I have caused the problem to recur only with my XP workstation using RDP, I was hoping someone else may have run across this problem.

TIA for your response.

Regards,

Mark.

Have you tried using terminal services instead?

Make sure remote control is enabled on your server.....

If the machine re-boots, right click my computer. Click on the advanced tab and select startup and recovery. See if the "Automatically re-boot" box is checked. If it is, uncheck it. That might help with part of the problem. Have you checked for error messages? Good luck.
