So I keep having an issue where people are losing network connection while on teams meeting while using a dock. We have Lenovo USB-C docks, but when you are connected to a teams meeting with a network cable plugged into the dock. It drops the meeting, it could be 5 mins into the meeting, 20 mins into the meeting. I cannot find a connection to the length of time it gives you online before you drop.
It only happens to you if you have a USB-C Lenovo Dock, plugged into a Lenovo laptop, with a network cable plugged into it. If you pulled the cable and work off wifi it NEVER has a problem.
I have done dock driver updates, dock firmware update.
Any ideas? has anyone else had this problem?

No I didn't get that and I had 6 users install the driver. Maybe needs some windows updates.
I have found that the PREVIEW updates for .NET 3.5 and 4.8 have been troublesome for Office apps (Excel, Outlook and Teams in my experience).
For example, one of my user's Outlook would crash when opening a Teams meeting from their Outlook calendar. I removed the preview update at the time for 1909 but I had another user on Windows 10 version 2004 and the resolution was the same.
Please verify you do not have any .NET PREVIEW updates installed by going to your Update History in Settings and checking under the Other Updates section . Open your Installed Updates from the Control Panel, find the KB and uninstall it if you found one.
The Cumulative Updates for .NET have not caused any issues so far but I wouldn't completely rule one out. In fact, they should fix the issues that its previous preview update introduced.
In conclusion, I was having the same issue with my Lenovo Thinkpad P43s on a Lenovo Dock Thunderbolt Gen 3.
I uninstalled a .NET preview update that sneaked in via MS Online updates and so far my meetings have not dropped.
I have another user I need to test this out with and will let you know the result.

In conclusion, I was having the same issue with my Lenovo Thinkpad P43s on a Lenovo Dock Thunderbolt Gen 3. Workaround was to plug Ethernet cable directly to laptop's Ethernet port. I uninstalled a .NET preview update that sneaked in via MS Online updates and so far my meetings have not dropped.

This has been resolved by installing the latest DisplayLink Drivers: ThinkPad USB-C Dock Driver for Windows 10, 7, 8, 8.1 (32-bit, 64-bit) - Lenovo Support GB

I installed this driver and restarted my T490.
It did not resolve the issue. teams calls still fail the ethernet connection. Unplugging power from the dock and replugging power only brought the connection back with the call briefly. Computer with dock is working perfectly fine with all network functions after closing the teams call.
