I think what Louis is trying to point out is:

If you build three PCs from the same parts, install the same OS and
then install Samba (setting it up exactly the same on all three) and
then connect it to the same type of network, you should get the same
result when transferring files etc.

If you get a different result on one PC to the other two, then you need
to look at the different PC. Check that the same packages are installed
on all three PCs and configured in exactly the same way. If they are
all the same, check the network, including cables, switches routers etc.
If after doing all this, you still have the problem, then you need to
look very carefully at the PC itself.
