Thanks man. I think it's tied to a storage card driver actually, since I saw it even when the NIC wasn't involved (local copies). I may have traced it to a combination of things, which I'll prolly post in a couple of days, once I get past a few key deadlines. Thanks for the link to the Ask the Performance Team. That is one awesome site. Should be required reading for anyone who uses the words "IT" and "Pro" to describe themselves. @ Chris…

Either update the NIC driver to the latest version, or roll back to the driver that comes with Windows (depending on what's installed).
