Hi,
I have a Windows 2000 domain with around 50 XP clients and all computers take around 3 or 4 minutes to log on. It stops at the loading personal settings screen and a lot of them run extemely slow once logged on and they speed up to normal speed when the LAN cable is disconnected. I'm thinking it is a DNS issue. All the clients seem to be configured with a public DNS server. The forward and reverse DNS lookup zones on the DNS server have the incorrect host name set. I am going to change this and I was wondering if the clients will still be able to work after I have changed the DNS settings or will they experience difficulties? Any help appreciated... Thanks!

You MUST set the primary DNS server to the IP address of your Win2k server in all of your workstations...
