First, I'd be looking at any changes that were made since last reboot -
many times I've been bit by some change that doesn't get applied until a
reboot.
Other possibilities are a bad port on a switch (the one the server is
on, since its affecting everyone) or a mismatched duplex mode on either
the switch or server side of the network connection.
