[snip] When the machine that is connected to the net loses it's connection does it go to sleep? It sounds like there is a power manager that is either slowing the CPU way down or halting it when the machine is idle - this is fatal if you are trying to keep good time as the number of cpu cycles is used as a basis for the clock.
