It's been awhile since my last "weird problem" so here goes a new one...
On my XP clients, I've had cases where it either hangs on "Configuring Network Adapter" or "Applying Computer Settings".
It'll sit there a good 20 minutes doing this, and I don't know why. The only solution I've found is to boot it up without the network cable, logon (cached credentials), and plug the network cable in after the fact, then it seems to work fine.
At first, I was thinking it was just Group Policy hanging or something, as it happened on a couple more machines too. However then on a couple more machines, I actually had an issue even getting past the "Configuring Network Connection" portion...
Any ideas? I was thinking about disabling Slow Link Detection but I don't know if that'd fix the problem or not.
