Most likely cause is, dns not set up or set up incorrectly. clients try to resolve dns via internet first? make a lmhosts file on one client and see if that speeds it up. i believe the resolve order is lmhosts, internet, hosts - ?
if that is not the case, supply more info. what exactly are clients os's and what sp level on all?

Check that if you haved mapped drives etc that they are connecting. Time delay when logging in is normally caused by failed connections either because it can not find them on the network or a security problem.

There is no one reason for slow logon. Check the event viewer for errors(right click on My computer | Manage). If the errors are not very clear, do a google search on the event id number. Hope this get you started in the right direction.
