When I use Windows 7's remote desktop connection to our company's VPS (Win Server 2008 32bit) I receive a very slow connection – most of the times it actually grinds down to a complete halt. This is in contrast to my team mates which have no problem remoting to the VPS.
I'm using a brand new Dell Studio 1558 laptop with Intel Core i7 and 4GB RAM with a clean installation of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate.
Any suggestions for how to diagnose \ solve \ workaround the problem would be appreciated.
UPDATES:
- I checked, and it seems the problem exists with all the computers connected to my home LAN. Once I take my laptop to the nearest coffee shop it works fine. What could be the problem with the LAN?

MTU issues can cause RDP connections to hang/freeze. To eliminate this as a possibility, you might try lowering your MTU to see if it makes any difference: http://www.richard-slater.co.uk/archives/2009/10/23/change-your-mtu-under-vista-or-windows-7/
