Hi Someone, i had the same problems whilst installing xp machines on 2000 server the problem was the DNS if the DNS if Config correctly they should load and unload within seconds. one problem was that i had to rebuild the xp machines after i had the wrong DNS in which caused a few problems. hope this helps
