Generally this is not a good plan in my opinion -- it usually creates more
problems and conflicts than it could possibly cure.

The suggestion is not disable the QoS service but to disable the binding to
the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in the NIC. This problem(with QoS Packet
Scheduler bound) can happen in both SP1 and SP2 though it seems the
triggers are different in the SPs.
