I connect to my workplace computer using Remote Desktop. After 1-2 minutes the application freezes to tell me after one more minute that the connection was aborted. It then reconnects. Everything works again for 1-2 minutes. Then the process repeats. Probably Forever. My coworkers do not experience such problems when connecting to the workplace.

My workplace computer:

Windows 7 32bit

My home computer:

Windows 7 64bit
connected to the internet via WLAN-router with integrated ADSL modem (Linksys WAG200G)

Things I already tried to fix the problem:

disabled the Windows firewall
disabled the other firewall
reduced the MTU
upgraded the firmware on the router
configured port-forwarding to forward all packets to my home computer

The problem remains unchanged.

What could be the cause of the connection aborts? What else can I try to fix the connection? Thanks in advance.
