Hi

Check this, for DNS configuration:
- Make sure that every domain controller has its DNS properties under NIC
configuration pointing to itself. (If DC IP Address is 10.0.0.1 then Dns
should be 10.0.0.1).

- Make sure that every DNS server can resolve all domains in the forest.
(Use Forwarding, Stub Zones or Secondary Zones).
- Make sure that all clients Only uses the local(s) Dns Server.

From a command line on your workstatation try netdiag /test:dns

They are windows XP clients. Doesn't netdiag only come with windows
2000?

I get commend not recognised when it try.

I thought i would try an NSLookup and when i do this i get the below error
although in dos i can ping the machines and also browse to file shares but
it think this may be going through the routers DNS.

*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.2.2: Non-existent domain

It is only a small network.

One windows 2003 domain controller with 4 windows xp pro clients. All
connected via a netgear modem router.

Hi There,

I have a windows 2003 server set up with active directory. I have my
machine which is windows xp pro loging on fine.

I have another machine which i have just purchased which is a high spec
PC but it takes on average 4 minutes to logon. I am not applying any
special GPO's or anything.

Both my pc and the new pc are on windows xp pro with wireless network
connection.

Where should i start to diagnose the problem? Is there some logon log
files anywhere so i can see which part of logon is taking a long time.
I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but i dont really know
a great deal about domains.

Thanks in advance.

Jamie
