The problem exsists in only one laptop. Everyone else is fine and I have
joined this one the same way I have joined so many others in the past. We
use a VPN/Firewall appliance as a gateway and all workstaions are set to
DHCP which they get thier IPs from the gateway. The DNS settings on the
gateway are public from the ISP.

It does not seem to matter whether I am physically connected to the network
or not the one one domain user account on this machine will log in very
slowly on the initial logon. if I just sit this laptop on a desk connected
to nothing the local accounts on it can logon quickly but the one domain
user is still very slow.
