I
know that isn't much detail. I am just asking for advice on what I can
try or how to investigate this behaviour next time this happens.

Please explain what you mean by "couldn't send or receive". You mean
there's no connectivity (did you try pinging the respective servers?),
or there was a password failure, or Evo connected but didn't
download/upload anything, or what?

You also need to consider policy in force on the net you're connected
to. Some admins, especially in corporate networks, won't allow
connections to random external servers.
