OK. Any help or suggestions here would be good. Thanks in advance.

Intermittently, XP PCs take a couple of mins logging in, then a couple
logging off.

"Applying computer settings" at logon
"Running logoff scripts" at logoff

Searching forums suggest DNS issues, but what? I've switched logging
on for all areas on DNS servers, then searched the log for the IP
address of the affected PC.

DNS is commonly the cause of slow logon. (Less commonly
causes slow loggoff.)

Check that the (affected) client(s) are using STRICTLY your
INTERNAL DNS server (set) which can resolve your zone that
supports your AD. (i.e., Do NOT mix the ISP DNS server in
there on the NIC->IP properties which is a very common mistake.)

This is one area that I have no idea what's going on. 10.1.1.31 is the
affected PC. What is the I.P address by "DATA" there for? It's a PC
across the WAN in a different country, which isn't even switched on.

Snd 10.1.1.31 247d R Q [8085 A DR NOERROR]
....
DATA 10.85.0.203

I don't know.
