This is driving me banannas
I have a Win 2k AD. All the clients are XP Pro. They take 5-10 min to login to the domain.
The Domain server is setup with forwarders to our isp dns servers. All the xp clients have static ip addresses and are pointed to the domain server as the dns server. They can all browse the internet just fine but the login takes forever. please help

This is a common problem, security events during login are normally the cause. See MS Q274176, or search the KB for "slow login to domain". Good Luck.
