Hi, Thank you all for replying! I really appreciate the help. I'm pretty sure that it is not FreeBSD itself, since I did a systat and top, even at peak time, I have at least 90% idle, and Swap is at max 3% used. One thing that bothered me most is the fact that this problem has never occur before. Even during the time when everyone works on their Excel and Power Point project off the server right before Thanksgiving. I haven't change any configuration since then, and the server was up for around 50 days back then... We restart the Win9X machines everyday, and they haven't act weird at all. (Heck, they act better than the time before the Samba server when they all connected to this limited edition NT server...) (Yep, this is a school... :) I'll try to change the options so that it wins the browser election along with couple other options... Any new ideas is appreciated! Thanks again for your help!
