To the network gurus

We are currently experiencing some network slowdowns that we have not 
experienced in the past and I am trying to narrow down what is going on.

In the past one could expect 1/2 a second delay when loading images or 
other data.
More recently we have seen 5+ minutes of delay.

Our applications make heavy use of images - one application loads (3) 
5MB images at once.  This application is used by 3-5 people in the 
office at the same time.

We run a Windows 2003 SBS domain controller with a Linux based file 
server.  The file server is only that - a file server with Linux From 
Scratch so there is nothing else running on it.

So far I have looked at file locks and 'top' to try to see if anything 
stands out, but I am far from being a network administrator and am 
searching to find where the problem may lie.

What should I be looking at to help determine where the problem is 
originating from?


Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks
Tom
