Strange internal network issue

Local network 10.10.3.x 255.255.255.0
clients inside the network telneting into a SCO Unix on the local network i.e.
win32:10.10.3.12 -> sco:10.10.3.14
the telnet session does a complete drop after 5 minutes
we have looked at lots of sco and internal network stuff to no solution turned on keepalives so on and so on with no luck. I then had a moment of reason and un-plugged the PIX and sure enough the sessions stayed connected inexcess of 30 minutes I plugged back in the PIX and dropped in 5.

I did not originaly look at the PIX assuming local connection no gateway no PIX but I guess I am wrong.

Looking at the PIX the only lines I suspect are

timeout xlate 3:00:00
timeout conn 1:00:00 half-closed 0:10:00 udp 0:02:00 rpc 0:10:00 h225 1:00:00
timeout h323 0:05:00 mgcp 0:05:00 sip 0:30:00 sip_media 0:02:00
timeout uauth 0:05:00 absolute


any ideas?

I was able to get this tested out and was successful the issue is now behind me thanks to everyone here.[medal]

correction is to remove the two static lines and replace with just the one Static (inside,outside)

I agree 100%

The issue I run into more and more is

1 client and 2 vendors each not wanting ownership for a problem or solution. And it really comes down to cost. Without knowing if this was my issue I have spent maybe 10 hours across 5-6 days eliminating piece by piece to prove this was the network vendors issue. Bottom line is my 10 hours may very well end up un-billable so I eat it. I am a small guy that does pretty well so i can do this and not have a real problem and my motivation is to "get it fixed" but in the current environment the core motivation is "it's not mine"
