domain network problems

I am totally illiterate on windows based systems. So any help on this
situation is highly appreciated.

Setup/System Info:
Have a domain - Domain Controller (DC).
Have a few NT machines and 2000 machines.
ISP is verizon, they gave some DNS entries to be used. In the TCP/IP
of the Local Machine, These DNS entries are entered.

Problems:
All Win 2000 member computers take long time to logon (hours!) and the
only fast way to login is to remove network cable. All Win NT fine.

A ping to another member machine gives "Reply from <SOME OTHER IP>" in
Win 2000 and gives "Reply from <MEMBER MACHINE IP>" in Win NT.

Gives Event ID errors:

Source: NETLOGON
Event ID: 5783
Description:
The session setup to the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller
\\"DC" for the domain "DOMAIN" is not responsive. The current RPC
call from Netlogon on \\"LOCAL MACHINE" to \\"DC" has been cancelled.

Source: Userenv
Event ID: 1000
Description:
Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. Return value
(1722).


I've searched all groups, microsoft support and all, but haven't got a
clue (some said about DHCP setting, some said about DNS settings,
RHOSTS etc..etc..) all failed - or I haven't done correctly too many
'don't-really-know-what-i-am-doing-but-let's-try-it' sort of thing.
Please help!

Thanks in Advance.

Click to expand...

Remove your ISP's DNS from your NICs and put in the address of your local
DNS server, usually your Win2k DC is the AD DNS server. Do not use your
ISP's DNS in any position on AD domain members.
If your local DNS server is unable to resolve internet names check for a "."
forward lookup zone and delete it.
 
Check the binding order of the protocols in your netowrk properties.

Control Panel - Network Applet - Click on Advanced - Advanced
settings.

Make sure TCPIP is FIRST in the list and uncheck any unneeded protocols
like NWLINK (if you dont have netware servers you need to connect to).
