After reviewing notes, laptop has always been slow to login. Laptop IBM brand new, 2.5gighrtz, 212mem. All run Win2000pro, all have new patches as far as I can tell. This is a SOHO company that the dad knows everything about computers:) So I think he down loads and installs what he thinks they need. His computer is the server which is also the computer he plays the newest games on!

The home has had network lines added after they moved in. But I checked the cables and they run 10 or 100 mbs fine.I think it has to do with the server and login. But I am stuck, I am starting a new contract monday and will only be able to work on it on weekends. Oh sorry I did not say its the company my wife works for, a local writer:( Help!

Tryed this but it did not help. I am looking at how this network accepts and lets you login now. I do not know how it was setup at first.

Here's a longshot: do they use roaming profiles? I've had users complain of slow logons. Turns out their profile was over 100 MB, mostly Temp Internet Files!

Check, that you do not have any user policy added in sites and services (administrative tools).
Try using only default domain policy in top level
in users and computers.

No polices every one has the same rights. It is a SOHO install with nothing special added. He did add Black ice but the problems were there before he added it.

A very common problem is DNS settings. Make sure that the DNS settings are correct. Also profiles might do the same.

Someone out there must have this problem! There is nothing on MSKB to help. I had the user reinstall the server and reconfiger the users but it is still the same. Hum do I need to blow away all computers and reinstall? Is there some thing left over from an old install?

I have found out that there is alot people with the same kind of problem. Is there any one out there who has found a fix for this? I tried all the help and tips but the systems keep slow booting and logging off. Is there any more info I need to give? Please help if you can

Try changing the switch/hub looks like your problem might be there.
Also remove protocols that you don't use.
