XP Pro Logging into Win2K Domain Really SLOW

[Guest]

I have a small network with approx 30 PC's we have a Legacy Netware 5 File Server and now have a Win 2000 Domain Controller also running Exchange 2000 and a standalone Win 2000 Server running ISA as Firewall/Web Proxy.

With Win98 I have no problems now I am introducing XP Pro PC's I am getting problems

I have installed the Netware Client which works fine. If I logon to Netware and the PC only I have no problems accept I can't get to Exchange or browse the web properly. I then set the PC's to logon to the domain as well and now each PC can take several (5 or 6 or more) minutes to logon

How can I speed up this logon process.

Make sure the XP Pro clients are configured to use the DNS server on your
newtwork that contains the domain SRV records and not configured to use an
ISP DNS server.

Thanks very much worked a treat...

Don't know how I missed that one.

In my defence the Win98 PC's get IP's from Netware DHCP which has been running a lot longer than the Win2K domain.
