Hard to tell what's going wrong. It seems connections are severed
for some reason. But it's not apparent where the root of the problem
could be. You should try to find out more about the conditions which
cause some connections to fail. Based on the little information you've
provided so far, we're left to making wild guesses.

So I'll try to guess:

Since you mention VPN: Are the clients behind NAT, and does the VPN properly
support multiple clients connecting from behind the same NAT? If the VPN
is PPTP, a likely problem is a NAT router not supporting PPTP NAT.
