takes a long time to logon...

hey all,
i just built a 2 computer network
pc1 has windows 2000 server (domain controller)
pc2 has xp sp2 on it joined to pc1 domain.
latest updates and patches have been installed.

for some reason it takes a long time (~3 minutes) to login from pc2 into
the domain.

any ideas?

thanks,
rodchar

DNS is probably not working correctly.

Hello rodchar,

Check that DNS is only pointing to the internal DC/DNS server, not to any
outside DNS.
