I'm having the same problems. Just got off with support and they stated that the "send Error 10054" Errors and the "MX Connect Fail" is due to the network card dropping connections. I had a Realtek card installed in the machine, switched it with a 3com 3c905B-TX card. Now they say to put in a "server grade card" and told me to use a 3Com 3c980 card. Going to order one and see if that takes away the problems.
Thanks for using aaa online!
