Yes - all 3 XP machines experiencing the same symptoms.

Other than the standard security packs, not much. The only other thing is I
did install an additional physical hard disk drive in the server. But, I
don't believe that is related. I did check PIO mode on all devices, and all
are Ultra DMA Mode 5 (except the newest drive which is Mode 6). Copying the
files to a new share on the new drive and sharing it exhibited the same
symptoms on the clients.

Nothing unusual.

I tried moving to a different hub, and had the same symptoms. This was
working fine 3 weeks ago. I have not (yet) swapped out cables, but can try
that. Would I see any particular errors in my network monitor trace?

Saw that -- I don't run any of the software mentioned. No kernel mode
filters.

Not running 2000 -- running 2003.

Not running 2000 -- running 2003.

I'm quite baffled. It doesn't help that with the holidays and all, I've got
no time to troubleshoot :-S. Will try swapping cables and some more thorough
checks of hub/port combinations if I can later.

I also noticed that the NIC driver is a bit old on the server (10/1/2002,
version 5.396.530.2001 from Microsoft). I wonder if the vendor-provided NIC
driver was replaced with a generic, poor-performing, MS driver during a
recent update? I'll try to update this driver and let you know. The NIC is
a Realtek RTL8139 PCI Fast Ethernet adapter.

Thanks again,
