I've had issues in the past where users were having timeout issues with SharePoint sites on SBS 2003. Particularly users with custom form sites or lists that require a lot of data entry will notice that after 15 minutes they are disconnected.

Double-click Web Sites. 3. Right-click the virtual server that you are referring to, and then click Properties. 5. On the Web Site tab, in the Connection timeout box, increase the amount of seconds to a more appropriate number. 6. Click OK. This should resolve the problem.
