I have a new network setup and all 3 workstations take 2-3 mins on the Applying your personal settings. If I disconnect the cable for a sec then it logs in fine and I can ping the server and access shares. This is a 2k3 server. What someone tell to do with DNS. The only thing is when I do a recursive test if fails. I do not have internet setup yet. This is a new building. But I did put in the DNS option for the soon to be router. What else could it be, on a 2k server I always put Allow dynamic updates but on 2k3 what should I do. Allow all or none?
I did find this. And I do have a continue setup icon.

I recently installed small business server 2003 on a clients’ machine. I had the same problem as you. I realized that there was a box on the desktop that says “continue instillation of small business server.” By that time I had created user manually so I descided to reinstall the entire OS. After I continued instillation, a web based page appeared (offline) that allowed me to do everything automatically and from then on my user logons have been short. So see if there is a continue installation box on your desktop.
No Profiles. the server is servername.local So when I join a WS to the domian all I did was just put the servername and then it joined.
When I do a NSLOOKUP it comes back with the loopback ip. 127.0.0.1
