I'm pretty sure it was one computer that was causing the problem. One of the symptoms was slow network traffic between other machines -- down to 50kbps sometimes on 100Mbps segments. Just powering up the offending computer and letting it sit at a bios screen would cause the problem. Power i

Just how slow is it? Is it consistently slow? Try unplugging the cable modem and see what happens. That'll tell you if it's involved. If you get _long_ delays when it's unplugged, then it's probably trying to go out to the dns there, and a local dns may help. You can also put entries in you
