Hi,
I'm surprised at how unresponsive at times the remote desktop connection is to my machine in the next room. A tracert reveals that the connection goes via Microsoft, making 30 hops along the way, even though I can directly ping and term-serv (RDP/RDC) directly into that machine. Does Live Mesh Remote Desktop not use direct connections or P2P where possible?

Note: I'm trying to connect to my nearby computer by using the Live Mesh trayicon, selecting "Connect to device" for the relevant machine. My local IP address is 192.168.1.101, the "remote" machine's IP is 192.168.1.104, and we're all behind a switch/firewall with IP 192.168.1.1.
