Terminal Connection Problem

Hi. We are have the following network hardware.

Client Computers (XP SP2) > HUB > ZOOM X4 ADSL MODEM > - INTERNET - > DLINK ADSL MODEM > SYMANTECH APPLIANCE VPN 100 FIREWALL > C.NET HUB > Wındows 2003 Term Server (Also domain controller, non exchange mail server and web server IIS6.0)

The problem is, clients are connecting to term server succesfully. But after a few minutes later, connection seems broken because the screen freezes for a while and automaticly reconnect it self. I have checked the the event viewer console and didnt see any thing which is related. So, it this a hardware problem or a software problem? Or any suggestions to solve this issue.

personally i would be taking a guess at the fact you are still using HUBS :) i may be wrong but you are creating quite a path for your poor old remote calls to travel!

C.net is a power switch and yes the client side is a old hub. Do you think that it affects that much? Because clients can connect another terminal server seesion (which is completely different setup) perfectly. So I guess problem is on my side whether if its a software or hardware.

thanks
ah fair call! i was just taking a long shot :)

Mmm I once cured this very problem WITH a symantec FW100 ! but it turned out to be the Line that was dropping the RDP packets not the hardware
Is there are any special event viewer which writes all the terminal service events on Windows Server 2003?
please run net diag command & dc diag command see if there is any problem on your networkor domain

Problem solved. The bug is in the SYMANTECH APPLIANCE VPN 100 FIREWALL 's firmware. I have updated it.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
NO Probs wiith the PAQ/Refund

gokhanoz what firmware version did you deploy? 18F Im guessing  - what was the problem it fixed ? as its readme suggests it only fixes a VPN problem (forgive my curiosity - I Support a LOT of symantec firewalls)
