Slow Logins for Win2k Clients after introducing XP clients

I have had a perfectly functioning Network until
introducing 60 new machines running Win XP into a Win2k
environment with a fully integrated Active Directory
single domain of 220 machines. All of the new XP machines
behave perfectly but I now have Win2K machines dropping
like flies and taking hours (or never) to logon. I can
solve most by giving them fixed IP's instead of using
DHCP but there are still several that just refuse to
logon on startup and just thrash around continuosly
trying to logon. The most stubborn I have cured by
upgrading them to XP but this is hardly an elegant
olution from a supposed IT professional who has spent
thousands on purchasing Microsoft operating systems.
Anyone else had the same problem?
