Hi guys.

Just have a couple of problems with networking on my windows machine. I have sort of managed to trace the problem but i need a bit of input.

Relavent info:

MOBO: Asus A8R-MVP
NIC1: Marvell Yukon GB/FE 10/100/100
NIC2: 3COM 10/100

Problem:

After a short time of usage the network buffer fills up and i am unable to use network services such as PING.

Possable causes:

Viruses: No. Last up-to-date scan is not
Hardware conflicts: No. Works fine in Solaris, 3com NIC only recently added to test problem - seems to be more reliable than the Marvell NIC (i was getting problems before adding the 3com NIC).
Network conflicts: No.

Driver conflicts: Maybe
Windows XP failure: Maybe. Recently did 2 years worth of updates but it still didnt aid the problem.

Please help diagnose/sort the problem. I dont really want to re-install XP but if i have to, i will.
