Yep - I've had this. The way to fix it is to create a C:\WINDOWS\NETWORKS file that is exactly like the /etc/networks file on linux systems.
I think that what is happening is that the windows clients are trying to broadcast to the whole world rather than just to the local network. Certainly keeping an uptodate c:\WINDOWS\NETWORKS and c:\WINDOWS\HOSTS file will help, though I suspect that with 100+ clients you must be using a DNS server rather than host files.
