outlook to exch 2003

Hi There

All of my clients take about 1-2 min to connect to the exchange server when opening outlook...

The do not have "ost" or "pst" configured, i have also deleted there old profile and recreated a new one and still the same problem.  What could this be? dns lookup problem?  I have also tried when setting up the account to use the mail servers IP address instead of the machine name...!

PLEASE HELP

All clients point the local AD/dns server, on 192.168.0.1 - exchange is on a member server "192.168.0.4"

Yes, the whole winxp profile i deleted, as well as the outlook profile.

thats odd,, most of the time its a simple DNS problem when things like this happen network wide.  Is your ISP's DNS server listed at all on the client end?  Can you explain a little more about your setup? how many DCs do you have? how many exchange servers do you have?  are your outlook clients connecting to exchange via MAPI (the default--IE when you setup outlook you choose "microsoft exchange server")?  Is this a new problem or did it just start doing this?
