This has been covered several times before in this group.

The problem is most likely an old gigE card on your server. It does not
cope well with small TCP window sizes. Turn off the high performance option
on the card and you are likely to see an overall drop in throughput, but an
increase in throughput from your Novel clients.

The problem would be trivial to fix by Legato, but they have proven to be
VERY unwilling.
