Win XP logon and disk access on 2k server domain very slow

[tpe 0]

We have several new XP pcs in the office, that log on to a win2k server (not pro) domain for our network. For some reason the log in and disk access from the new xp pcs but not the older 2kpro pcs can take up to several mins. Is this a known problem with xp? is there a known fix for it?

 

many thanks

thx for the reply.

 

there is not much to elaborate, there are no errors in the event log. xp seems to think it is doing the right thing. however, when you try and access a networked file about half the time it will take a very (longest so far is 8 mins) long time to read the contents of the directory. A similar thing happens when logging on, if you just log on to the pc and not the domeain it happens reasonably quickly, but if you log on to the domain it takes a few mins too. It only happens with the three del pcs we have recently purchased (2 at one time and the third later) that came with xp sp1 preinstalled.
