A couple things come to mind. I would check your anti-virus software
settings in case that could be the problem. Here, we have a single
configuration for AV on all the workstations, so a change to that
configuration effects every machine. You can try disabling the AV on one
machine that's having the problem to quickly rule that in or out. Another
thing that came right to mind is a hub, switch, or network cable problem.
Although, the slow response on the server argues against that.
I'd also check for something running that should not be. This would include
spyware, but also unnecessary background services and programs that are
installed by legitimate apps. Run msconfig and look at the startup tab, or
the processes tab in Task Manager. Make sure you know what everything is,
and that you want it to be running. (When I don't know what something is, I
just search for the filename. Usually you can tell by the file's location
or properties. I ignore anything from MS - they're liable to be part of the
OS or a necessary service).
