This sounds like it is a windows networked drives shutdown problem. This usually occurs with IDE drives with a large cache. I suggest that you go to MS windows update to analyse a win98 machine, then download the appropriate patch/update. This should cure the problem.

Check with your clients.. I doubt they are losing NETWORK access, likely they are getting dropped from ORACLE. Oracle will timeout and drop connections. Do they get an error in Oracle while doing a query or something?
On the off chance that it is in fact the network dropping them, go to one of the machines when it disconnects and ping the server. Then monitor when and where it happens.. does it happen at specific places, on specific machines, always the same hub? things like that... but i really doubt its the network... am betting its oracle.

Good luck
