Cisco 2600 setup wrong?

[buymeforabuck]

Our network consists of a single 2600 router with 3 vlans im sure. they consist of 10.56.56.0, 10.56.57.0, 10.56.58.0. our servers are on the 56.0 range and about 100pcs are on that subnet also (255.255.255.0)another 150+ are on the 57.0 range and printers and the like on the 58.0 range. all gateways end in .1 for each corresponding subnet.

If a pc is on the 56.0 range access to mapped drives is fast and so is access to apps. However if on the 57 or 58 subnet access seems slower than 10mb when accessing a mapped drive. Most clients are winXp pro (90%) some are 2k. Our consultants who setup the router assure us its not on their end with router configs, but it is driving all the users crazy (57&58 subnets anyways). Every computer connected to the switches shows non-stop activity no matter what, on peak or off peak hours. We shutdown both av servers and even our main server with no luck, still a lot of traffic. Looking for some helpful advice. Thanks.

What type of routing is being used? IE -Static, RIP, RIPv2, OSPF etc

What type of switch is being employed?

This sounds like you could have loops in the network.

Static routing im think, switches are off the shelf linksys switches.

The 56.X subnet machines access with no problems because they need no internal routing for accessing servers on their native subnet. Where are the 57.1 and 58.1 gateway addresses going to?

The problem is almost definetly due to routing from this address back to 56.X

Post the router config and any other relevant routing tables if possible
