I updated my network driver two days ago... The installation went well, but after the reboot the network was very slow! If I disabled the network card (wireless) my computer became responsive again. The same happend if I logged in to a local account rather than my normal domain account. No errors in the event viewer on the client or the server. It seems like this problem only occors on Vista computers joined to a domain.
The resolution was to do a couple of settings on the tcp stack. I ran a cmd-window as administrator (on the local account because of the speed) and typed in these two commands:
netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled [enter]
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled [enter]
After a new reboot I could again log into my domain as normally!

I was curious about exactly how long it took my computer to boot after reading the postings above, so I restarted my desktop and noticed the time taken. It exactly took thirty five seconds to shut down, and approximately two and a half minutes to boot to full functioning. I use Win XP on a desktop, with security software and an additional program to operate my dual monitors; I also have some applications which start off during the booting process like GTalk, Skype etc. So my PC’s booting process seems to be in good shape.
However it looks like from the above discussion that we need to have proper hardware configurations in order to utilize our machines to their full potential, even when it is idle.
