Okay, after doing some investigating -
On the original failing workstation, I get the following errors after a
logon -
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7032
Description:
The Service Control Manager tried to take a corrective action (Restart the
service) after the unexpected termination of the Windows Management
Instrumentation service, but this action failed with the following error:
An instance of the service is already running.
& then also an event 10010 that says - The server {<string of numbers &
letters>} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
Also, under the mmc for services the following automatic services are not
started -
Auto Updates
Computer Browser
DHCP Client
Distributed Link Tracking
error Reporting Services
Logical Disk Manager
Secondary Logon
Server
System Restore Services
Windows Audio
Windows FW/ICS
Windows Time Service
Wireless Zero Config
Workstation

applying on those workstations. What I would do is to go to eventid.net and
troubleshoot the specific errors, or post them back here.
Then if you have WSUS, you could go to the WSUS console and see what it's
reporting with regard to those PCs. If updates are not applying, that could
be related, or maybe those client PCs are not getting the appropriate gpo's
to update through WSUS. You could also run Microsoft Update from an
admin-level logon at one of the effected client PCs to see if updates are
missing.
I don't see how this could relate to .net other than if a missing .net
update is a symptom of something else that's going on.
You make it sound less like hardware is a possibility, but you could just
swap the network cable between a working and non-working PC at the switch to
rule this out for sure. Still, if several different functions requiring a
network connection are working normally, that would seem to rule out the
switch.
What 3rd party (non-Microsoft) applications are running on those client PCs?
What happens if you try to use the PCs without any 3rd party apps running?
If 5 out of 8 client PCs are functioning normally in all respects, I'd be
troubleshooting this first on the 3 clients rather than the server.

Sorry, I meant to write Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 & 2.0 are installed
on
machines that are working. on machines that aren't working, only .NET
Framework 2.0 is installed.
Event logs on the workstations all say that they are unable to run group
policy....

Could it be a WSUS update that was applied to the PCs? I notice they are
all running ASP.NET 2.0 w/out 1.1 installed. Could that be the problem?
