I assume that this problem occurs even when trying to sync the server alone, rather than concurrently with the other two machines. If not, then the rsync mirror may be blocking you due to repeated attempts from the same source IP address. Some things to check: Have you looked at the router's logs to see what happens to the packets? When this fault occurs, have you checked that the server can still resolve URLs and there is no DNS problem? Finally, as has already been mentioned, you could set up a LAN rsync mirror for your machines, but this does not answer why the particular machine is having connection problems. -- Regards, Mick
