Slow domain logon on a PC connected to internet

[suresh]

Hi,

I have a PC which is part of the domain and when this PC is plugged into an
internet connection and a domain user logs in there is lot of delay before
the user gets the desktop. It definitely slower because it cannot talk to my
domain controllers. Are there any TCP/Netbios configurable settings to
reduce the timeout for these actions?

thanks,
- suresh

I would check the DNS settings first.
