I have VPC set up on my PC at work , so when I work from home, I
frequently need to start it up and use it.

Unfortunately, VPC over Remote Desktop is too laggy to use. So I
would prefer to use Remote Desktop to connect directly to the VPC
session.

This connection is good for a few seconds and then it freezes up.

Have you any solution for how to work on a remote VPC reliably and
easily ?

Thanks,
Nora

I do not know why this would be happening. However - for the
performance issues with using VPC over RDP - check out:

That sounds like some sort of network problem. It should have nothing to
do with VPC. The RDP connection should be going directly to the vm. RDP to a
virtual machine usually works just like RDP to a physical machine.
