Slow Windows Remote Desktop

[jarlaxe]

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a windows remote desktop from a kimsufi reseller. It is the most basic plan which can be seen on the kimsufi website:

http://www.kimsufi.co.uk/

It's the Kimsufi 2G one.

Anyway, I am experiencing some lag. It's not horrible, but it is annoying. Is this because of my internet connection?

I have a fast connection with speeds that are about 14mbps. My ping tests are OK too.

The server itself is not very powerful. However, it lagged from the moment I first started to use it when it had no applications/processes running so I don;t believe it is a problem with the server.

I should point out one important point. That I live in New Zealand, and the server is in France. When I purchased the server I asked whether this would cause lag and was told it wouldn't. Is this true?

Thanks,

Update: My pingtest to a French server is a little over 300ms

your ping is bad
new zealand is very far from europe

You can use Remotepad or Setting slow screen :sun:

try 15bit graphics and lower resolutions. Also ATOM 1.6Ghz CPU sucks

Sir,
You can submit a support ticket in http://client.aminserve.com and ask them to make a RDP fast connection for you. Its a free server

The TCP/IP tweaks posted here may help to sort this issue. Run this in both client and the server: http://pastebin.com/ghYYYvGT

Tweaks to be ran from the cmd line
[ Only for Windows with 6.x kernel (Windows Vista, 7, 2008) ]:

netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh int tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp
netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
netsh int tcp set global chimney=enabled
netsh int tcp set global dca=enabled
netsh int tcp set global netdma=enabled

Tweaks to be placed in a registry file and then added to system registry
[ For 5.x (XP, 2003) and 6.x ]:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"MaxUserPort"=dword:0000fffe

Yes, bad ping and sucky CPU.

Are Kimsufi worth it as RDP?I currently have two RDP's and both have their issues.I read in another thread that you have to pay for Windows Licence?Like the OP stated the site is 16G a good offer?

 

[drlove]

If you have a good ping then yes, Kimsufi's are ok (not great but ok).

I moved to a Windows VPS.

 

[EL-Warez]

I believe Windows VPS are too expensive and kinda lag unless you have 2Gb ram and more which costs 50$

Thanks for all the info. I'm going to look into those tweaks you posted NewEraCracker.

Cheers,
