I can't see any reason that packet burst should cause this sort of problem 
unless the drivers for your NIC are buggy.  Opportunistic locking is also not 
inherently incompatible with DOS file locking, but the applications must be 
able to cope with it.  For some older DOS applications, opportunistic locking 
does have to be disabled.
