Slow Network

I have a win 2003 server domain with WINS, DNS, & DC, file server on 1 server. My problem is, all of the sudden, Win 98 clients that connect to this server is very very slow in response time to network applications. All win 98 computers, BUT the Win XP computers are working fine. I have stopped & restarted DNS & flushed DNS, any suggestions? Thanks
