I have a domain and a few workstations on a domain.

User logs in but accessing anything on the domain drive takes forever. If
they login to their workstation - instead of the domain - and attach to the
domain drive with their username & password than everything is fast.

Any ideas?

PS all computers and domain are on a linksys router which is connected to
DSL. This is how they get their internet connectivity.

Thanks,
Raul Rego

This usually happens because of incorrect DNS settings which
causes the workstations to look outside your business for the
domain controller.

Your AD dns server should forward all dns requests to your isp and all
clients should only point to your AD dns server. Do this and things should
clear up.
