Hi

I have a small network with W2K Adv. Server and W2K pro.
One of the machines (W2K pro SP4) takes too long to logon
in the network (around 25 minutes).
Also i have another machine that takes too long to logon
and after that it can't see the shared drives.If you press
a connection for 6-7 time it connects OK. The internet
connection works fine though.
Any ideas? Please help since these machines are used by the
developers and there is need for frequent reboots.
Thank you
Dimitrios Papoudas
