I have to go with some kind of routing issue. The response doesn't arrive back 
at the PCs, so they time out; and the AS/400 sends the response but it's never 
acknowledged in any way since it doesn't arrive, so it believes the PC was 
somehow disconnected.

A comm trace on the AS/400 should show that it sent the response. Once the 
trace shows that, the network guys should be able to look at it and see where 
the problem with it is.
