Hi,
I know that there is a way to increase the the value for the TCP/IP timeout in 
miliseconds. This is a registry setting. I cannot remember the name, can 
possibly
find by Google or at Microsoft.
On the other side it is a good hint to decrease the number of clients in the 
groups, properly the workload on the nic is to high.
Regards Rainer
