Check your DNS. Your W2K server needs to be running DNS
or your DNS Server needs srv records that reference the
domain. 2k doesn't care but xp needs that dns or it will
stall for 3 minutes before using netbios.

about 5 pc's running XP pro. When the machines login, it
takes a LONG time (3 to 4 min) to login to the server.
Once logged in, everything works fine and the network
speed is fine. Any ideas? Maybe a MS article on the
setup procudures for configuring XP to connect to a Win2K
domain?
