Logging on locally (i.e. to the local SAM) or to Active Directory/NT4 Domain?
Are you using roaming profiles? If so does the logon take forever using an account w/o roaming profile, i.e. local administrator account?
Can you check to see if the NIC got switched to an incompatible duplex setting, i.e. Switch is set to 100 Full-Duplex and NIC is set to 100 Half-Duplex?

Errors in event logs?

If all else fails restore from backup or do a clean install.

     I installed Service Pack 4 on a Windows 2000 Terminal Services server and now logging in (either locally or from a remote client) takes an absurdly long time. I removed the service pack so now the server is at SP2, but the problem remains.
     What can I do to fix this.
     Many thanks in advance
