I'm currently having this extended ridiculous wait time on client computer w/in my domain. I'm not an MCSE or anything, just a student managing some computers, and am clueless on how to go about this. It pretty much arose out of nothing and I see you are talking about DNS and DHCP. The server's IP is statically specified, and it is currently running as the DNS server for the domain. Can i get some instructions on how to go about getting this resolved? It sounds that it's an internal name resolution problem, which would also explain why clients on the network must 'Retry' 3-5 times before their Outlook clients will finally connect to the exchange server running on the same box. It's win2k Server with all updates.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
