The standard answer to such questions is:
Gather more data!
Use a network sniffer like Ethereal to find out what is going on on the
wire. Is there something happening in the network? Which site is closing
the connection. Is it closed or reset?
It tremendously helps to know which party is at fault (server, client,
network) and on what protocol level it happens, when trying to debug
such things.

Thank you for your reply.
After further debugging, I have noticed that the clients are being
booted off because the read thread is getting a socket exception.
This starts with any one client and then goes on to exceptions thrown
by other clients who are logged in.
What kind of information do you suggest I analyze from Ethereal? Seems
to me network activity is fine ...
Thanks!
