rsync/jscript/cygwin problem

I'm using a javascript program to execute rsync 2.5.6
compiled with cygwin on Windows XP Pro machines.
These backup the user's "My Documents" folder to a
Linux server running rsync 2.5.6 in daemon mode
when the user logs in to XP and certain conditions are
met (e.g. user hasn't backed up for a few days, user
on the network etc).
This works great except every now and then machine
will lose network connectivity. TCP/IP communications
completely goes although an IP address is still
assigned. Only a reboot seems to sort this out. On
all occasions the rsync backup is running when this
happens (again this doesn't happen every user log in
so unlikely to be co-incidence).
The script log output is as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User jbloggs on PC_NAME at 08:50:49 26/06/2003 using
Rsync Data Backup System version 1.12
rsync cmd: C:\"software files"\software\rsync.exe -czr
--stats /cygdrive/d/"Documents and
Settings"/jbloggs/"My Documents"/
192.168.1.2::RsyncBackup/laptop/jbloggs-PC_NAME
stdOut was:
stdErr was:
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code
12) at io.c(177)
rsync return code was: 12
Duration was 59.425 seconds
The server log at this time is:
2003/06/26 08:49:51 [30315] rsync: name lookup failed

I really need this system to be reliable as it could
end up on a few hundred machines. Quite happy to
accept its all my fault but would welcome suggestions
:) Would the options -czr --stats cause a problem?
I'm running this under windows scripting host so maybe
I'll also post to a group examining that angle.
Thanks in advance for any help
