We've had our test system on our network running now for about 48 hrs. and haven't lost connection yet. Our network pretty much mimics theirs.I guess this may take some time to sort out. But as long as she checks it in the morning and make sure she's still collecting data, restarting if necessary, its been working great! Just adding another routine to her day, especially a network/software related one! She's a pretty busy office manager. Been understanding so far, though. The two nic's does sound like a good route to try. I'd be working long distance with the IT guy on that, though, and would want to make sure that it would solve the problem. I'm open to any suggestions. I certainly appreciate your help so far.
