Divx freezes when playing over LAN from Server to HTPC?

I have a problem when playing a video file on my 512MB Dual Xeon 3 GHz File Server (Windows Server 2003) to my 512MB Pentium 4 HT 3,6 GHz HTPC (Windows XP) over a 100 Mbit LAN from a Router to a Switch. During playback, once or twice the image will freeze, and I can hear audio. I click back a minute and it corrects.

I didn't have this problem when using a Hub, (I had other problems, that necessitated replacing the hub). I have used two different routers, and three different switches and the problem persists.

I have no problem if I just copy the video file over inside Explorer to the desktop and play right off the local hard drive.

Any suggestions?
