Joining Vista to a Domain Servers (HELP)

I have been having major problems after I join vista machines to my domain
network. Network performance is terrible and sometimes connections don't
even take. I have zero device hardware errors with vista but yet
connections to domain servers is terrible. The amazing thing is however I
can surf the internet without a problem. Is there anything I can do other
than scrape the 15 new work stations that we just purchased and go back to
Windows XP PRO?

FYI: I installed XPPRO on one of these machines and they work great. No
problems connecting to any of our four servers.

Thank you in advance for your help!!!
Mike

Oh forgot to add that I am using Vista Business

This is almost always caused by misconfigured DNS settings on the clients.
Are the Vista clients set to use an AD DNS server and no other DNS servers?
Post the results of ipconfig /all from a Vista computer that has the problem
and the XP computer that doesn't.

Can you disable IPV6 and give it a try.
Post back with results

Was the computer joined to the domain? In the Network and Sharing Center
does it say Domain network or private or Public network? The domain dns
suffix is not showing up. Are both 192.168.0.3 and 192,168.0.8 active
directory DNS servers? Could you post ipconfig /all from an XP computer that
is working properly? Why the odd subnet mask? Do you have more than 254
devices on the network? This shouldn't cause a problem but I have to wonder
why :-)
