Server 2008 slow network response time (network drops to 0% for a 10-60 seconds)

Hey,

I have about 30 machines (XP and Win 7) writing to a file share on a new Windows Server 2008 machine.

Accessing the file share is nice and fast except on the odd occasion when the initial response from the server is very slow.

You can see on the network monitor a drop in traffic down to 0% then all of a sudden data floods in again. (See screenshot).

Where do I start looking? I have replaced the network cable and changed the port on the switch.

Thank you. We have since changed the switch and cable, updated NIC drivers and I have started running wireshark.

Firewall is off and there is no AV installed.

Ill keep looking and report back if I find anything worth commenting on.

Hey All, I believe it was the NIC drivers. The problem seems to be resolved. Thank you.
