Slow Network Access

I recently set up a small office network. I had 3 new computers that I
had to migrate the data back to and 1 PC that just had the windows 98
to XP upgrade. All have the same NIC ie 3com, and all are connected to
the file server. My question is only the PC with the upgrade has mind
numbingly slow network access. I swaped NIC's to see if this is the
problem. I also tried hard coding the IP adresses on all the PC's to
see if that might be the issue.

The network setup is:
all PC's including the file server are connected through a Linksys 8
port routerwhich is then connected to a Cisco 678 DSL modem to the
internet, The internet connection for all is ok, The PC in question is
a PIII 500, and has a slower network connection than the PII 450. are
there any settings in the PC that might affect this connection? Or is
this an issue of the Win 98 to XP upgrade?

Thanks
