I ran into a similar problem while working for a small ISP (VERY small) 
but in the opposite direction.  Customers would complain about not being 
able to get their mail.  I'd look at it and find huge attachments - 
graphics, and sometimes cute programs.  I'd go to a non-MS system (Linux) 
and have them down in no time at all.
   Best thing we could determine is it was (and there was some supporting 
evidence) was the MS TCP/IP stack.  Point being check on the TCP/IP stuff 
on the MACs.  Is it the same on the ones that work and the one that 
don't?

Also I didn't read this as carefully as I should have so I not sure if you 
might be having a cabling problem also.  Are the working and non-working 
systems on the same hub/segment?  Ran into a network that had a HUB with 
bad ports.   Same kind of erratic problems.


Best,
Rod
