It happens that our Samba server for the LAN and our web server and gateway for the web are on the same box. So, I was guessing it's spyware and adware bots that are slowing us down. So I dropped in the hosts file, rebooted, and apparently I guessed right - he's happy and it (our "server") doesn't seem to be bogging down as much, if at all. (albeit it might interfere with his pr0n sites, but that's not really my problem is it?) ;-)
