Is this your firewall or server box, or just a workstation in the lan? If you have a different nic, try swaping it out. Are packets slow? or are you dropping packets? Run some ping tests. Try running a tcpdump to see what kind of packets are hitting your nic. I've seen Appletalk, IPX and tcp/ip traffic on a segment slow down because of conflicting addressess.
