Hello all,  
A DNP server I connected to my gateway worked fine for a few months, and then started disconnecting and reconnecting randomly every second or so.  
Has anyone else observed this behavior before? What shall I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe a Wireshark capture will provide enough information to give you some advice.
