Kind of covered this, but thought I'd add a data point.

Our main code computer is a laptop running Windows Vista. We use LabVIEW. We also get sporadic disconnections and other network issues.

Particularly we get the stop waiting and disconnect panel while running or deploying. Usually it goes away after several minutes. Perhaps you need to wait longer.

Others have had good ideas, just thought I'd throw out a possibility.
