Hi all;

We have several Win 2000 machines and 1 XP machine here. All patched
to the MS03-040 on Oct. 3. Since thew patch was applied, the XP
machine *only* (Win 2000 OK) shows a severe slowdown in copying files
to any other machine on the network.

Have checked other "usual suspects* such as NIC card seating, cables,
etc. and all seem normal. Also, communication to and from the internet
via web and to and from an FTP server for website work as normal, no
decrease in speed.

This LAN has a hardware firewall in place, and all AV is updated
daily. Spybot is used daily, as is Ad-Aware.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
