Hello to all,
I have a windows XP 64 bit system having issues when it's plugged to the network. The computer has 2 quad-processors and 4 GB RAM, 200 GB SCSI hard drive and a 10/100/1000 Broadcom network card. Since a week ago the owner has complained about slow performance whenever he tries to run any application. He is a developer so I thought he might be the cause of the issue but we have been eliminating variables (Antivirus, Firewall, etc) until we narrow it to the network card. Whenever we disable the card the system runs fine. As soon as we enable it back the problems start. When the card was enable I ran a netdiag diagnostic but all came back as normal. Also there are not visible error in the eventlog that could explain the behavior, I kinda scratching my head to figure it out why the slow performance. I will try to delete the card and re-install it tomorrow. Also I will run a hardware diagnostic to find out if the card is in healthy state. If somebody had foght a situation similar to mine and know how to fix it or work around; please I will appreciate if you can send your input on how you fix the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Alex
