SBS Slow user logons problem



I need some help – this is driving me nuts.
I have two specific users on an SBS server that are having insane lag in
authenticating to the network (5+ minutes) and even after that, they get
limited connectivity at best.
This started a couple of months ago and I can’t seem to find the root of
this problem. Essentially, when the user logs in it takes 5+ minutes to log
in if the workstation they are loging into is connected to the network. If we
disconnect the workstation that they are loging into from the network prior
to their logon attempt then the process takes less than 40 seconds. However,
they have essentially no access to any of the network resources. This is tied
to the users as any user other than the two in question can log into the
workstations and have no problem at all. The users that are having the
problem can go to any workstation and duplicate the problem.
So far I have created new user accounts for them and re-associated their
original exchange mailbox to their new accounts and duplicated all the
account settings. But the problem seems to follow them even under the new
user accounts. The accounts have very little in common (three group
memberships) but there are other users with identical setups and have no
issues.
I have also disjoined their workstations from the domain and re-joined them
using new computer names and accounts created using the SBS new computer
wizard and the process of joining to the network was taken care of by using
the http://servername/ConnectComputer wizard.
I have deleted the Reverse DNS zone on the SBS server and recreated it.
I have re-run the “Connect to the Internet” wizard on the SBS server.
I have created static HOSTS and LMHOSTS files for the workstations that have
the information for the server.
The NIC drivers have been updated on all systems.
The workstations are getting errors in the event log that are:

All of the things above have created a perceived fix that lasts about 24
hours before it goes back to its old tricks. So just when I think that the
problem is fixed, it shows up again.
The server is SBS 2003 SP1 and the ipconfig/all of the server looks like this:

C:\>ipconfig /all

The system used to have two LAN adapters but the one that was not in use has
been removed (one of the solutions mentioned on here or somewhere else dealt
with double homed SBS servers so I got rid of the extra card).
The workstations are all WinXP SP2 and the workstation ipconfig /all looks
like this:

Some of the things tried have been from looking in these forums or in
ExpertsExchange or in EventID.net - this is driving me insane, please help.

Thanks,

Carlos
