Strange Network Behavior

[Andy]

I have a small windows server 2000 based network with 6 clients (XP and 2000
PCs w/ MS office 2000). A couple of weeks ago we had a problem with winsock
corruption. Once resolved, any local or network based docs take 10 -30
seconds to open. The odd part is, if a PC is physically disconnected from the
network, a local doc will open nearly instantly. But if reconnected, the same
doc will take the usual 10 - 30 seconds to open. I've already rebuilt DHCP on
the server just in case, but the problem persists. No other hardware or
software changes have occured. Any suggestions?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?QW5keQ==?=,

A better place to ask this would be the office.setup, with a cross-post to
word.setup.networking
