Can you get a sniff of the traffic on both ends? ( Wireshark?) Also can you look into your iis logs and look at the traffic going to the box and see if anyone is trying to DOS the box, with script kiddie exploits etc etc. I have seen these types of attacks bring down ftp servers before and make them unresponsive, which we fixed with an IPS/IDS and on demand access lists on the router interfaces.
