Slow Logon

[Guest]

This is a Win 2000 Server with 5 clients. 2-W2K Pro. 3 XP Pro. The logon to
the Windows 2000 Server is slow. Takes 4-5 minutes. I have gone through the
network. New router no change. Cable Internet speeds in the 1-meg range. When
you logon to the machine account it boots right up. Logon to the network
account is much, much slower.

You should post this thread to the appropriate newsgroup. This is Microsoft
Windows XP General.

Several reasons for this but 90% of the time it's DNS. I can mention about 50
things to check but ultimately all you gotta really check is that your zone
is AD integrated and NOT forwarding internal name resolution requests to the
ISP's DNS address.
If you are using DHCP or static addresses just make sure the requests are
going to the right place for the right request.
