Hi Serge, I performed the experiment you suggested: 1) Connected with RDP client 2) Worked until it hanged 3) Successfully connected to the VM via virt-manager (RDP client still freezed) 4) Verified that Windows is still connected to the network 5) Successfully pinged my host IP from within the VM (ping 192.168.122.1) So it doesn't seem to be a network disconnect issue. Can you think of anything else? Thanks! On 27 June 2013 16:12, Serge Hallyn
