I have a PC running XP Pro logging into a Server 2000. After logging into the domain and while the screen displays "loading personal settings" the system hangs. We've let it sit for a hour. If I go into safe mode and disable everthing in "network properties" like client and protocol, I can get into windows in normal mode, put the network settings back in and login. Everything is fine until I do a few reboots - then the problem shows back up. Any thoughts?
