Slow logon times when connecting to the domain
I am having slow logon times connecting to a domain on a number of different PCs. The DC is running Server 2003 with AD, DHCP and DNS enabled. The workstations are running XP SP3. When logging on it gets stuck on the Applying your Computer Settings and hangs for a number of minutes before logging in. I have included some event logs below from the client PC. Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if you require any more information.

Please log into this computer as the local admin and make sure the DNS server is pointed to either you DC or is set to obtain automatically. If it is auto, please make sure your DHCP server is handing out the correct DNS address.

Changed the name of the PC to XPS430 and the problem is the same.
DNS is assigned automatically and I checked the assigned DNS server on the PC and it is correct.

Any more ideas on this? Still experiencing slow logon times and I'm fairly sure it's DNS related.
Open the Properties of the LAN
click on configuration and then advanced
look for IPv4 Large Send Offload and if found check to
see that value should be DISABLE
then click to save it, if that does not solve it
let me know

also try on the server, on the user properties, do not assign a home folder to see if that aleviates your pain, post any results please
Is there only one DNS server assigned to the PC?
ASKER
I will check the settings on the PC in the morning, it does connect to a shared drive so I will disconnect and see if it improves.
Only one DNS server assigned to the PC.
Only one DNS server assigned to the PC.
when i said home drive it is in the DC under the user properties in case you have active directory
ASKER
I checked the server and disconnected the home drive in AD but the problem remained.
I also followed the steps outlined in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310461 but it also made no difference. I still get the following errors in the Event Viewer -
