XP Pro Network Logon - REALLY Slow

Hi,

I've set up a small network consisting of a Windows 2000
SBS server, 5 windows 2000 Pro clients, 2 XP Pro clients
and a DSL router.

The DSL router acts as the DHCP and DNS server so those
services have been disable on the SBS server.

When you log on to any of the Win2K PC's they log on in
seconds and all access is fine. BUT, when you go to log
on to one of the WinXP-Pro clients the logon takes about
3 to 4 minutes to get anywhere! :o(

Once logged on they fly and if you're not connected to
the network they log on in seconds??

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Does the router host the DNS records for the AD domain??? You should run DNS
on the SBS server and configure the clients to use the SBS server as their
DNS server. The DNS server on SBS can then be confgiured to forward to your
router or another Internet DNS server.
