Re: Outlook clients on laptops slowing down

Hi James

The desktop users dont seem to have any problems. BTW the laptops are on the
LAN when this occurs. They both seem to take a long while to logon but
always have and the outlook problem has only just started in the last few
days. No changes to DNS that I know of. Both are dhcp clients of the server,
with server as primary DNS. They are running XP pro SP2, do they need a
hosts file? I'll check IPConfig and post.


Regards,

Daniel.
