it is sbs premium 2 nic setup, over the weekend i've noticed in the logs that an election needed to take place as the new computer is claiming to be the master browser. 23 events, I'll turn the browsing service off on the pc first to see if it makes any difference.

DHCP is set to give client computers their own ip address along with the server as the gateway and dns server, only one entry.

I agree with Maxibo, sounds like DNS. I had the same problem, but with a twist: a couple users losing network shares at random times. See the response to my post on 9/5/06 @ 5:10pm from "Mike".

Anyways, I entered in my SBS server's IP as the primary DNS on all workstations and this dramatically decreased all of the users login times. Please note that the secondary DNS entry should be empty.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!

at my office it takes roughly 1 minute to boot the pc and be at the ctrl + alt + del screen. At one of my customer sites it takes roughly 3 minutes to get to the same spot, it takes most of the time when it hits configuring network connections. It seems to stall there for over a minute. Is there some setting i need to check to speed this up?
