Hello,

I recently added 2 new Dell Windows 2000 workstation
systems to an existing Windows 2000 network. These 2
systems are connected to a Wireless Router via USB
Wireless NIC's. When I login to the domain, it literally
takes almost 10-13 minutes before I actually see the
desktop. First it says applying your personal settings,
then applying computer settings, etc. Once is it finished,
everything works just fine and also works fast. How can I
speed this up? Are there some settings that I can adjust?
Other information that may help.
I have 4 other Windows 2000 workstation systems connected
to this network via the 4 ports (hard wired) of the
wireless router. 1 of them is the Windows 2000 server,
which is a PDC. Each workstation is setup with an IP and
Subnet. The wireless router is set to use DHCP but since
the workstations are assigned IP's, it doesn't get an IP
from the router. I have given the workstations IP's that
are out of the DHCP range.

Thank you in advance.
