Hi James
I forgot that this is a Windows XP only setting. Windows 2000 waits for the
network anyway. Do you have "Authenticate as computer when computer
information is available" set? I'm wondering if this has something to do
with credentials changing over at logon.
You could try taking a network trace to see what's going on.
Kind regards
