Delayed Write Failed-unable to save

I am having a problem with our VPN. When a PC at our remote site tries to save a file to a server in the home office they get the following message:
"Windows-Delayed Write Failed" "Windows was unable to save all the data for the file\device\lanmanredirector\servername\Admin\filename"
The remote office is a peer to peer network (6 PCs) with 98 and 2000 PCs. The VPN had worked fine until I added an additional 2000 PC and then they started to get the above message.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks,
Mike Peck

so you are saying, if you take the new w2k pc off the network, everything is fine again? or, you don't have luxury of that test...?
could it be right's issue? maybe new computer is part of workgroup but needs domain rights or something to get file saved onto home office server. can't explain why all folks would get the message not just offending workstation but maybe broadcast or something?? just smells like permissions issue to me...
