There is a known problem with some network cards and Windows XP. The network driver is not able to accept a large number of small packets, like zMUD sends when doing a speedwalk or a long alias.
Other people have solved this by updating the network driver for their network card. I ended up buying a new network card for my wife's XP system because there wasn't a new driver, and that fixed the problem also.
99% of problems with WinXP are driver problems.

Don't always trust what Windows tells you. Go to the webpage of the makers of your card and look in there to see if there are newer drivers. You might also want to try looking around in one of those driver forums.
