[c-nsp] Windows server hangs connected to 3750

Nope. They are single servers, functioning as DC/File and print servers for individual sites. The odd thing is that one is at our largest site, with hundreds of staff and students, and another is at a small site with maybe a couple dozen people tops.

But other sites of similar size are not experiencing this problem, which is what leads us to suspect these servers rather than the network.

Cheers,

Damien
