Re: Laptops running slow when connected to another network

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The Laptops are all using DHCP for their Ip addresses so they are set to
"Obtain Automatically" for both IP address and DNS servers.

Thanks

Hello Mark,

Did you use fixed ip settings or DHCP for the ws?

Best regards

Laptops running slow when connected to another network

We have the situation where engineers in our company go out to
different sites and connect their laptops to customer LAN's (for
programming PLC's & internet access). All the laptops are joined to
our Windows 2003 domain and are WinXP SP2.

When out on site & connected to other LAN's the laptops are very slow
to login, open windows explorer etc. If the machines are started
without being connected to the network, everything runs fine.

I guess the laptops are looking for our domain controller. I have
tried making different hardware profiles and disabling a number of
services but with the same result.

Creating a local user on each Laptop isn't an option, as they don't
want to have different profiles.

Are there any specific timeout settings to help with this issue?

Thanks in Advance

Mark
