Another important point...

This problem did not happen when SQL Server was on the same box as the web server (IIS).  Only when it was moved to another server.

Thanks.  The down time is not predictable (at least that I know of).  I will monitor the connections to see if that might be the issue.

Is there another method to check the number of connections other that looking at the admin and activity?  The system is CPY licensed.  Thanks!

Also, there is no problems being reported in any of the logs

Thanks,  I will look into these.  Keep in mind, to fix the problem however, I do not need to restart SQL Server box, just the IIS Server.  Not sure if...
