SMB Causes Loss of Connectivity

Hi -
I'm new to VS, using VS 2005 and have 2 VMs installed, both W2K3, one with
SP1 the other without it. Both guests are using a virtual network that is
bound to the physical NIC on the host.

When I make an SMB connection between the host machine (W2K3, SP1) and
either of the guest machines (either direction), after a short time the
network connection is dropped. In fact, it even stops working on the Host
machine where I am not even able to ping the gateway. As far as I can tell,
rebooting the physical machine is the only way to get connectivity back. I
don't know if any other kinds of protocols between the host and guests causes
this problem, though I have tried HTTP and RDP which seem to be OK.

Both host and guests are easily able to access the Web, even simultaneously.
In fact, one of the guests just downloaded all of SP1.

Any idea about what I can do to troubleshoot or remedy the problem?
I notice that the NIC on the VMs shows up as generic Intel 21140, when it is
actually an onboard NVidia NForce adapter.
Would it make sense to install the drivers that go with the real hardware?
I guess I don't quite grasp the concept of virtual hardware devices.

Thanks for any help.
