SYMPTOMS

When you take Remote Control of a Windows NT Workstation computer from another computer that is running Windows NT, the UDP packets appear to get out of synchronization. After a few minutes, the client no longer receives input from the administrator. The administrator can still see the client mouse and keyboard input, but can no longer update the client. The administrator keyboard and mouse are non functional at that point.
