Lenny,
No offense but setting the this stuff manually is just addressing a symptom
and not the root cause. You are ignoring the actual problem and moving
forward simply because what you did "worked." Sortof. So you've put up a
bad patchwork fix to address one issue, and then when we identify the
slowness issue you'll likely end up having to do some MORE dancework
(because of your previous custom changes) to make THAT work, and it ends up
being a virtual version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa....just waiting to
topple over and leave a whole pile of frustration in its wake. You'll reach
a point were all of these manual settings will become unmaintainable.
As previously suggested, you should post some ipconfig /all settings from
machines that work and machines that don't, as well as perhaps a bit of
information about your infrastructure so we understand how these PCs are
connected to SBS. We can help you fix this problem the *RIGHT* way.
