Slower Server 2003 with XP Pro Clients (Need Step By Step Instructions)

I know this has been posted multiple times however, I am in a position where I need to work with a server. I am not qualified to do this since I am inexperienced, but I don't have a choice. I'm assuming based on other posts that my problem is with the DNS settings however the other answers provided are not enough information for me to resolve my issue.

Here I go. When a user signs onto a new computer it takes 5-10 minutes for the settings to apply. Any time they log on after this it takes about 2-3 minutes to login. Whoever answers this, I need step by step instructions on correcting it. Telling me that I need to point to the DNS controller does't help unless there are step by step instructions on doing this. I appreciate all who are able to help me.

Here are my current settings.

DNSMGMT(Interface) - 192.168.22.11
DNSMGMT(Fowarders) - All other DNS Domains
DHCP (Scope-Router) - 192.168.22.1
DHCP (Scope-DNS Servers) - 69.19.137.125 & 63.164.60.8
DHCP (Scope-Domain name) - faithschool.org
DHCP (Server Options) - 69.19.137.125 & 63.164.60.8
NIC TCP/IP - IP (192.168.22.11)
NIC TCP/IP - Subnet (255.255.255.0)
NIC TCP/IP - Default Gateway (192.168.22.1)
NIC TCP/IP - DNS (69.19.137.125 & 63.164.60.8)
CLIENT PCs - Obtain IP and DNS address automatically

Change your DNS Server on the DHCP scope to your own server's IP address.

DHCP (Scope-DNS Servers) - 69.19.137.125 & 63.164.60.8
DHCP (Server Options) - 69.19.137.125 & 63.164.60.8

and change the DNS servers on the server's NIC to only point to itself:

NIC TCP/IP - DNS (69.19.137.125 & 63.164.60.8)



Well, thanks for the quick points.   I would almost rather you had made the changes and said they worked first, but that's up to you.

It did work and that's why I gave it to you. I was monitoring it so that I could test it. I didn't want to waste time. Thanks for the help.
