Hello Dana.
I finally got some information.
It looks like the VPN connection is still active when this happens.
Also, when it happens, we tried pinging three things:
The static ip address of the server - Gives 4 replies with
nothing lost
The static ip address with 3389 on the end of it - Gives bad
parameter
The servers local nic address 10.0.0.1 - Gives a loss of data
The servername - Gives could not find server xxxxx
Any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
