 It's probably a problem with you network drivers, i have had the same
experience with my local lan network.
 I guess you are running Win98 on some of your computers and since Win98 has
an error in the network drivers for Realtek 8029 network cards you need to
update them.
 Here is a link where you can get them:

hope it works out for you
