In working on some networking code, I've come across one test machine on our 
local net that has extremely slow performance. Like orders of magnitude slower 
than normal, on the same local network and using the same method (airport, 
through a single router) as other machines that work just fine. This problem 
seems to affect not just the code I'm working on but general stuff like web 
browsing, file copying*, etc. A restart doesn't help, a full shutdown and 
reboot seems to help if the machine is left off for a while (overnight works, 
but 2 minutes has no effect) but the speed soon drops to a crawl after five 
minutes or so. Switching to wired ethernet makes no difference. It's very 
bizarre.

Are there any diagnostic tools I can bring to bear to help figure out exactly 
where the problem is? It's probably a config file or something gone awry, but 
all the usual suspects (network settings, and so on) look fine.

* a test copy from another machine to the suspect machine of a 56MB file 
estimates it will take 2 hours. THAT slow.
