I missed the bit in your original post where it appears that at least
the DNS flood is coming from (or at least through) XP - all the
zeroes in the network monitoring results made me think of a hardware
fault.
I would suggest two approaches:
1) it looks as if you have tested by substitution all possible
hardware causes except bad cabling. Try running a new, temporary cable
between the XP machine and your switch. I frankly don't expect this to
solve the problem, but network cabling problems can sometimes give
rise to very strange symptoms indeed.
2) Boot another OS on the XP machine and see whether the flood
continues. There are a number of trial versions of different flavours
of Linux which have come out on computer magazine cover disks and/or
can be downloaded and burnt to CD-Rs and run from the CD. Assuming
that your hardware is fairly vanilla, you should be able to access the
network from the "foreign" OS. If the "foreign" OS can access the
network and doesn't flood it, I would have to assume that you either
have a very well hidden piece of malware, or part of your XP network
stack has been corrupted in a particularly spectacular fashion. If
that't the case, you are probably going to have to do at least a
Repair reinstall of XP. If a foreign OS booted and running from a
clean CD also causes the same behaviour on the network, it has to be
network hardware-related, or just conceivably something in the MoBo..

Thanks Peter,
I already changed nics. Switch seems Ok because because other
workstations are not affected even if swaped ports with troubled one.
