Every workstation (WinXP, Linux) works perfectly with the samba server
except this Windows 2003 Standard Server. If it's a terminator fault, it
would affect all workstations, not just Win2003. Statistics? How could I
collect that?

The Windows 2003 is a new isntall with SP1 applied, using Firefox as
browser. The chance of getting hit by spyware or virus is low.

I just tried using WinXP to ping this cursed Win2003 server, the latency
was horrible: 1000ms. This Win2003 must have some new features in its
TCP/IP stack. Maybe this whole thing was optimized for 100Mbps network.
