General, Inconsistant Network Troubles

I am reposting a problem with VS 2005 that I posted on 12-29.

In a nutshell, I have loss of connectivity, nothing really consistant in
what causes it, but I can recreate the problem by, for example:
Creating 2 nodes in a cluster (using VMs of course) on a host which is the
DC for the domain that the cluster virtual servers belong to. Everything
goes along smoothly until I try to add the second node to the cluster, at
which time I lose connectivity to the host and beyond. I can still connect
between the two VMs however. In fact, the host can't connect to anything at
all once that happens. It gets worse - When I try to reboot the host
machine, it hangs to the point where I have no choice but to do a hard
shutdown; something (the VM service, most likely) takes up 100% of the
processor time.

That is just one example of a predictable way to recreate the problem.

I really don't have much of any idea how to troubleshoot this, but someone
please help me out and let me know if any of these might be solutions:
1. Reinstall VS.
2. Reinstall VS but use a different NIC. There is a second NIC that is
currently disabled. It's a Linksys PCI. The one currently being used is an
onboard NVidia NForce.
3. Use a host machine that has a better Processor. This is strictly a test
machine with sufficient RAM, but is using a 2Ghz AMD Sempron 3000+, which I
believe is comparable to an Intel Celeron.

Thanks for any help.

I moved the VMs to a different host machine with a better processor (AMD
Sempron 3200+) and now it works like a charm.
