10 Minutes to Boot Up

[Guest]

I have Vista Business installed on my Dell Core 2 Duo laptop. I bought the
laptop a few weeks after Vista was launched and had it preinstalled.

My laptop is part of a business network and I hadn't had this problem until
just a couple of weeks ago.

When I log into my laptop from anywhere not connected to my business
network, it boots rather quickly.

When I have it connected to my business network and log in, the log in takes
10 minutes. It's an exact 10 minutes so this tells me that something is set
to time out after 10 minutes. From what I can see in the event logs it
appears this is the culprit.

Sorry for not asking a question but does anyone know why Vista is taking
this 10 minutes to log in and how I can fix it?

Thanks.

Have you checked for rogue programs that are starting with the operating
system? Run msconfig and disable everything there except for your security
software. Antivirus and Windows defender. If that fixes the problem then
re-enable each item one at a time and reboot each time. If the problem comes
back then you know it was the last item you re-enabled.

If you can narrow it down then re-post here and I am sure someone can help
you out further.

I'm betting your DNS isn't set correctly. It should point to the DNS server
on the domain you connect to at work. if not it will have to wait for the
timeout before it searches and eventually finds your domain controller.

A new router or IP might have been another solution.
