Using TCP/IP I take it ??

Get your network boffins to check, double check, and triple check the router
configs.

I've had a few similar situations and in every instance it's been a stuffed
router or other network config.

You can fool around with your tcp configuration and stuff, but I doubt it's
the problem unless your timeout values have been changed from the defaults.
