[K12OSN] users kicked out on 4.2.1

[Jon Spriggs]

Do you use switches or hubs? If switches, is the server's NIC set to
half or full duplex or "Auto Negotiate"... it might be worth checking
the switches config and see if that's set to half/full/autoneg as
well, as this causes us all sorts of problems at work.

Also, try running a continous ping against the server, and check used
bandwidth to the server.

Hope that helps (not confuses)
