This occured prior to the upgrade so = it is not caused by the upgrade. I can periodically come into the server via VPN (pptp) and SSH. Also = sometimes I can view web pages on the server and sometimes not. Our ISP = insists that they are not opening and closing ports. I have noticed no set time pattern when the outages occur. Regardless of whether or not I can enter remotley, I can always ping the = server and the local users can always get out. What a mystrey.
