up to recently my servcer (Win2000)was the dhcp server. We installed a broadband router and this now acts as the dhcp server. However since the change the xp pro machines are taking ages to log on, i also have win98 computers on the network and these work perfectly. hope the discription is ok as i dont regard myself as and expert. I teach in secondary school and am trying to maintain our school network.

your description is fine.
Try to find out the DNS / WINS server that was used when you had the Win2000 as the DCHP server. Make sure that the same server IPs are referred in your broadband router.

flush DNS records from the XP machines, IP release
then IP renew on the XP Machines.
