Hai, nope , no vpn's , smart switches or anything else , one plain c network connected on one switch. It's more that I wonder whether it's a time out problem or something else, I have never seen myself timeout problems (if they exist at all) on my servers, but this is very specific related to a longer period of time the word application not being used which generates the error on an open document. Maybe I should first upgrade to 3.0.11 and then search further.
