Firstly I need to reproduce the problem. I haven't been able to do
that using a simple "copy XX n:\XX" command or using Windows explorer
cut and paste. Once I get my XP vmware session to reproduce the behaviour
I can start to experiment with fixing the problem.

*Exactly* what are you doing to see this problem/SMB traffic pattern from
an XP client ?
