Network Connection takes too long to initialize

[scott.hawks]

I have 2 3560 switches. currently, the both run the native vlan 1. i am in the process of setting up vlans and moving over computers and servers to them. i have one particular user that upon starting his computer and logging in to our domain, it takes over 3 minutes to connect to the domain controller and process the startup script. i have checked and double checked to be sure the port is set to spanning-tree portfast. any ideas as to what else i may look at. i also checked the wiring itself to make sure that wasn't the problem.

thanks in advance for your advice.

Try a trace route/ping from the subject PC along the switch/router path to the AD server and see if there's an obvious bottle necks.

Also check affected interfaces for duplex matches, error counts etc.

Is the ip default gateway correct, can you see it cleanly in show
