IFS - network and iSeries passwords the same?

Hello all........

I'm trying to figure out why something is occurring on our system.  We
currently have an archiving process that puts documents on our IFS, and we
have users of these documents set up with a mapped drive through Windows to
access the documents (Windows 2003 Server network, by the way).   For some
strange reason, whenever a user changes their iSeries password, they cannot
access the mapped drive.  However, if they change their Windows network
password to match their iSeries password, this fixes the problem.    Any
thoughts from anyone on why this might be occurring?  Any suggestions would
be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
