network file xfer speed issues

[MikeArch]

We are running a win2k network 100baset. I have one pc (win98) that while it can access all resources without any speed issues, when we try to download a file off the server it takes 30times longer than from any other pc on the network. The pc has 2 nics (all of our machines do). They are not sharing resources (irq) with each other (or with any other device for that matter). We swapped cables, ports- even put a lap top on the same drop (the laptop worked fine). removed ip msnetworking and the nics and re-installed- same result. I moved the nics to different pci slots but still nothing....
I tried changing the netspeed settings on the nic but no change
Any ideas!!! Thanks
