Smoothieboard printer hangs while printing

in General
I'm using Repetier Server with a Smoothieboard printer. It works great with Repetier Host. When using Repetier Server, however, printing once in a while is interrupted by sudden stops, sometimes for a duration of a few minutes. The print finishs but the result is really bad, of course.
My connection settings are:

Ping-Pong: no
Buffer: 255 Byte
max parallel commands: unlimited
comm. timeout: 30

What can I do to improve this?

Thanks in advance

Hugo

    Are these the same buffer settings as in host? If 255 is more than smootheboard has, this will lead sooner or later to com errors. 127 is normally a safe bet. Also make sure to select smoothie firmware to ensure some smoothie special behaviours.
