Slow, Draining Networking Problems with Windows 2000 Server & 6 Client W2k Pro Machines. . . H E L P

Hi All,

Got a bit of a prob guys, which is I've been called out to a job, which involves a Windows 2000 Server Domain- 1 Ghz Memory, P4, 2 x 40Gb HDD...Etc...
Now the problem is that all the client machines, are taking a hell-of-along time reconigizing the network all of a sudden, in which when you turn the PC on it takes about 20-30 minutes to get to tha log-in screen, now if you power the clients PC down, and take out the CAT5 Cable, the PC keeps in at normal speed, then it allows me to get in tha domain, plug the cable back, 1-2 minutes later, all your network map paths/shortcuts etc... come back, now we're swaped over the HUB, without luck, now does anyone have an idea..?

Nows, could it be Company/Security Policies kicking in...slowing the **** ouut of it???

I need ya Help...


Cheers,

I'll ask for the points here.  I presented some logical troubleshooting steps which could lead to resolution.  In the last reply the author was going to check some of my other suggestions, but never replied back to the forum.
