Question : Slow XP pro Logon to Server 2003 domain

Hi,

I've followed several threads on slow XP logons in this and other forums.
I got some helpful pointers but have yet to get to the root of the problem.

Problem: Workstation with XP Pro is s......o slow (10 minutes) to long onto Sever 2003
Network. When booted up under Win2KPro it's quick; in the order of seconds.
The accounts on the workstation are both new and created during the “connect to Domain wizard”.

Server setup:
Server 2003 standard
DC & DNS
   Both forward & reverse lookup zones setup in DNS (Thanks Deb)

fixed IP  192.168.15.200
subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.15.1
DNS  192.158.15.200


Workstation Dual boot
Win2K
IP DHCP (supplied by router)
DNS 192.168.15.200

XP Pro
IP DHCP (supplied by router)
DNS 192.168.15.200


Router
DHCP enabled
DNS primary = 192.168.15.200
DNS Secondary =  ISP dns server
I just did that (router DNS) and it made no difference

Network is stripped down to:

(1) Server running 2003
Dc & DNS

(1) Router (Linksys)

(1) Workstation
Dual Boot Win2K Pro /WinXp Pro
