Hi chet,
Sometimes when there is a problem in the network, the computer not able
to connect really slows down, to the point that the mouse may not be
responding about 98% of the time. You might go back to the basic, ping
both ways by IP and Netbios name, check IP configuration for each NIC,
check lmhosts files, be sure you can ping you DNS and gateway, check
your even files, check your device manager to see that all hardware
devices are working, check for runaway process using all your CPU
cycles, etc.
Regards,
LelandJ
