Computer hangs at "Applying Computer Settings"

I have an XP Pro laptop logging into a 2003 server. After the username
and password are entered correctly, the laptop hangs at "Applying
computer settings". The primary dns on the laptop is set to the servers
address.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does the laptop connect when you disconnect it from the network?
Logon as the Administrator and create a new user. Does it connect from
here? If so, logon as the Administrator again and in the Control Panel

the old user profile and continue working with the new user profile.
