This wont make you feel any better :/ but, I have the same problem. By chance do you have two network cards in your server? If so does one have a internal(Privet IP) and the other your Real IP's? That is how mine is set up and have the same problem reboot the server and BOOM works for awhile again and after may be a day or two we are back to the same question. I am also running win2k Server with all the patches. I am also running 7.06(Also had the Problem with 6.X) Hrm. If nothing else Any one else have an Idea. The reason we have the second NIC is because our User base is in SQL. To be kina safe it is on a internal lan. Thanks for any help
