DHCP intermittently failing over VPN

[DIACon]

We have a SBS 2003 Server at our location with DHCP running on it.

We have an officer of the company in another state using Sonicwall Global VPN Client to connect to the network.

From time to time, he will call and notify me that the VPN client hangs at "Acquiring IP".

Rebooting the server resolves the issue, but obviously, that can't be happening so frequently during business hours, and the problem is occurring several times a week now.

Restarting the DHCP Service does not fix the problem.
Even when he cannot get a DHCP IP over the VPN, we can get them locally.
There are no DHCP errors in the event viewer.

Any suggestions?

Have you checked for optimal MTU settings on both the remote and the server. Lost packets may be causing delays
