Hardware:

9 Macs (assorted), one Laserprinter and an SE/30 with two
drives (140 meg. and 40 meg.) acting as a fileserver.

Problem:

All Macs except one work fine.  This one seems to access the file server fine 
but periodically seems to be deciding to have an extended chat with the file 
server (thus suspending everything on that machine until it's done chatting).  
It seems to do this when redrawing the desktop, but the problem is not isolated 
to when the file-server's desktop is open (but is still active).

Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on here?  No unusual DAs 
are running on this Mac (none different from the other Macs) and it's driving 
me nuts.

As a related topic, are there any PD network utilities that could be helpful at 
times like this (or just fun to play with, etc.)?

Thanks in advance!
