- Solved
I'm not sure if this is associated with RC2 but never saw this behavior before installing the RC's. For the past week or so I've been having issues with random lose of contact to my server. I checked the logs after the most recent event and found this entry which coincides to the lose of contact-

I see this event repeated quite often in the system log and it doesn't always result in lose of connections from other computers, but it does look like all of the lost connections have coincided with the failed DHCP renewals.
Full diagnostics are also attached.
