Client PCs suddenly lost connection to server
Hi,
We have been experiencing this weird problem oy n our network. The PC clients always suddenly disconnect themselves from the server. Mapped resources were all gone all of a sudden. When they restart their PCs and try to login, they will get "domain is not available or busy message". They can only logon after keying in the password repeatedly for 8 to 9 times, or restart their PCs a few times.
Not sure if there's any settings to tune on the SBS Server or PCs.
Please advice.

Please post a complete IPCONFIG /ALL from both the server and a sample workstation. Also, please confirm whether you joined the workstations to the network using http://<servername>/connectcomput

okay... how about the IPCONFIG /ALL?
Just out of interest have you got enough licenses installed. Wouldnt this exhibit similiar symptons to what your describing? Any message appearing on the server? I.e usage lisence reaching maximum?

Try changing the default gateway on the client to 192.168.1.2 (server ip)
see if that works for you.
see if that works for you.

While Googling I found this one line proposition 'Research led me to find that Media Sensing was causing the problem' followed by a registry hack. see http://sbscanada.blogspot.com/2004_10_01_sbscanada_archive.html
Hope it helps.
