Desperate: Windows XP SP2 intermittent slow logins to Windows 2K AD Domain

I hope someone can help with this issue. I just started rolling out new Dell
XP workstations to our 60 user domain. The XP logins sometimes take up to 5
minutes to login. It usually happens about every 5th login sometimes
everytime. The workstations are getting 1053 userenv errors saying that
Windows cannot determine the computer name. The RPC server is unavailable.

All the machines are using DHCP and getting DNS from the server. I also
installed WINS and enabled NetBios over TCP/IP on the workstations.

I've tried every possible fix I've found on the internet. I'm attaching a
netdiag because I'm getting a DNS error that may be the culprit. The server
IP is 119.0.0.199 but the netdiag says it's 119.0.0.28 which is a RAS IP
address.

Here is the netdiag. Sorry for the length. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm going nuts with this one.

If I had to guess, I'd say the domain controller for your domain is NOT
pointed to the DNS server. If the domain controller IS the DNS server, make
sure it is pointed to itself.

The problem is the domain is not registered in DNS. You will need to find
out why.

If the DC is pointed to the DNS server, I would try running netdiag /fix and
dcdiag / fix on the domain controller.

Along with the other two answers, you could band-aid fix this and put the IP
address and the DNS name of the DC into the hosts file on each machine.

Thanks guys. I hope these work.

Thanks guys. The only thing that worked was the LMHOSTS files.

the lmhost shouldn't be considered a fix. Note Greg submitted it as a
bandaid. You should really find out why your domain is not being registered
in DNS. Although your client appear to be working correctly now, its most
likely AD is not, and will not if you ever try to expand it.

Unfortunately I'm a one man IT department and I'm not an MCSE. I would have
no idea where to start and no time right now to fix it. I would consider
hiring an MCSE for a day (to work remotely with me) if they could guarantee
results.

I could only guarantee I'd give it my best shot. Feel free to email me off
line for remote consulting.
