While Sam's advice bears great merit, I would suspect either a failing 
Arcnet hub or NIC.  The last time (well, hopefully the last time :) I worked 
on an Arcnet network it was to solve almost exactly the same problem.  The 
problem, after many hours of testing, was a faulty NIC in one of the PC's.  
The thing that really threw me was that every day the problem was solved! 
and everyone went home happy.  What actually was happening was the person 
working on the failing station was going home and turning the computer off 
:)

Good luck... and consider Ethernet.  Should only cost about $400 (max) to 
implement for 4 stations.
