Re: DNS Problems ?? Slow connection to Server

Yes my account has admin rights on my workstation.

No other users have admin rights to workstations.

Thanks Cris

The server has a Cisco router between it and the NHS Server
192.168.231.5 -
Router 192.168.231.1 Router is plugged into switch

I have remove Secondary WINS with no effect

I disconnected router from server and re booted. This made no
difference to
problem user connection speed.

My own login is now affected. When I log on it takes about 2 minutes to
get
to log on screen. Then after entering password it takes another 2mins
to get
to applying your personal setting. It then takes a further 10 minutes to
get
to the desktop. At that point there is a message saying that all
network
drives not available. In otherwords not connected to server. NSlookup
and
Ipconfig don't run.

I ran system restore on my workstation This made no difference.


If I log on to the same problem workstation using Admin or another user
name
which does not have problems everything is OK.

I have run numerious spyware/adawe scannners plus virus software. They
find
nothing

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Alan
