Hi, speaking as a former tech support person, questions like these 
are very hard to follow up - without any kinds of examples/tests/proof/
configuration and so on. For instance, what kind of load do you have on
the network? Is it the server or the client side that's bad? What
revisions on Ethernet cards? Apple Ethernet cards? What kind of 
network configutation do you have, what kinds of machines/OS are
connected to the network? Broadcast storms?

Issues such as this would certainly give a better answer on c.u.aux.

Regards,
Kent Sandvik
