Hi,
Not taking an eternity due to speed 'auto negotiation' b/n switch and PC..?
ie. Some older switches take a very long time to negotiate with a gigabit ethernet controller what speed they will use (100MB full duplex usually).
Check that the PCs in question do/don't have gigabit ethernet controllers. If they do, plug them into a gigabit switch port and see if that helps..
Else try upgrading PC's ethernet drivers..
Cheers.
