XP takes a long time to login, but only on first login after a reboot

I have seen other postings with this topic, but none of the solutions have helped thus far.  Here is the current problem:

I have a network with dozens of XP clients controlled by a Windows 2000 domain controller.  One client, and only one of them, takes 3-4 minutes to log in.  This is only the case after a reboot.  If I log off and log on as a new user without restarting it works fine.  I have tried to login using different usernames after the reboot and it is the same effect for each one, so I do not think it is profile related.  I have seen mention of DNS issues causing this problem, but I have followed all the advice along those lines and still the problem persists.  I have even installed the Profile Hive Cleanup utility.

Any other thoughts I may have missed?

Thanks,
Mark

I will try those things (some I have already tried, but will make sure.)

Nothing is different on this system than the others.

I'll report back with any event viewer items of interest.

Thanks!
