You may want to check out the Ethernet wiring: cable quality, cable
lengths, any kinks or breaks in the cables, ...
At one of my customers, a couple of computers show very similar
problems. Some days, they would run fast, other days they'd crawl. Are
you by any chance using a managed hub? If so, you may want to log on to
the hub and see if it can test the cables.
At my customers, it turned out that the Ethernet cables were just
marginal. The managed hub actually showed the problem: those computers
that worked well showed a definite cable length, usually between 30 and
50 feet. Those that were marginal showed "undetermined cable length". I
haven't tracked all of them down yet, but in at least one case, a large
part of the problem that the Ethernet cable from the wall port to the
workstation was extremely long and coiled up under the desk. I suspect
that the cable quality also was pretty poor, and the cable was kinked in
a few places. Some strands may well have broken, too. I only just
replaced the cable yesterday, so it's too early to tell if it fixed the
problem.
