I have a client that has windows 2003 server with Active Directory and
Windows XP and 98 workstations. All windows 98 workstations connect to the
server at a full speed without any problems. However Windows XP workstations
have tons of problems. I posted a message awhile back and was told that all
my XP workstations have to have static DNS entry pointing to the server.
That solved only one part of the problem. It used to be very slow logging on
to XP workstations but now it logges on very quickly, however all network
application take a very long time to open. I need to fix this problem ASAP.

Here is a setup of my client's network.

He has a router that controls DHCP for all workstations on the office.
There is an Active Directory Server 2003 that is an Application, Printer, and
File server. I have changed the server to 10/100 Full Duplex as well as all
workstations. I thought that would help the problem, which it did not. The
DNS server is being controlled by the router as well so the server only has
DNS for Active Directory. I didn't mass with Workstation or Group policies
so it has to be somewhere within XP or Server. Currently all XP workstations
are on Service Pack 1 and I am not planning on installing Service Pack 2
unless I absolutely have to.

If anyone has any idea's and able to help I would really appreciate it.

Thank you,
R
