One machine (it varies which one but at the moment it's mine) will start to suffer extremely slow service on the network while all other machines run fine (example - 10 minutes to copy a 4Mb file from the machine we call the server to my own C drive). Going to Settings/Network and changing my IP address sometimes fixes the problem for a while, sometimes it doesn't. All the applications that use network files on my machine are affected (including WordPerfect & commands from the DOS prompt) and nobody else on the network suffers. We've had a consultant check out all our network settings and got a clean bill of health but no improvement. My PC is an Ultra Pentium II 233 with 64Mb of memory & a 4Gb hard drive. The server is a TPG, same spec. LAN runs through a hub and all LAN addresses are in the same range.	Guest (0)
