My problem doesn't appear to me to be the Gateway.  It seems to be my local
desktop.  The gateway machine continues to be able to browse etc even while my
local desktop is timing out.

That's what I think too, but the somehow missing or losing it seems to be on the
desktop end, as far as I can tell.  Did changing your gateway to Linux solve
problems with local connections to a local 400?  Or even telnet connections to a
remote 400?
