Teknoids

Cyndi,
 
I have had some issues with submitting electronically but far fewer than yours. It's more common in MACs since the airport needs at least 30 seconds to re-connect ,on some PCs  they need to login again to re-authenticate to ACS through AD.  I can't find a fixed pattern and would be happy to find out what's causing this, perhaps Greg can help figure this out.
