Tested the -proposed package and it works (vino starts during
start-up, can access desktop over the internet)

I though it was an issue with some SW so I uninstalled many things and got it more stable. I was wondering if the UPNP could maybe affect some computers on the lan.

I actually saw something similar this month, but I don't know if vino
is causing it (or what is causing it). My wireless connections totally
drops or freezes up (the signal is good but data transfer is very
slow). When I turn off my ubuntu machine, the windows ones are ok
again. I don't know if that is caused by vino or another service in
ubuntu.

Next time you see that happening, try disabling vino or outright
remove it, and see what your other machines do. If it doesn't clear it
up, disable other network services on Ubuntu, and then just turn off
the machine in an attempt to isolate the cause.

I believe that the connection dropping bug you mention is unrelated to
this SRU fix since it appears to be older than this fix. It's also
possible that the bug is in the router firmware (I'm using DD-WRT
v24), but we should make sure it is not in ubuntu and report a new bug
if it is.
