Help! Long delays after removing XP Client from Win2003 domain

[Guest richard@planet-richard.com]

Hi,

 

I have a WinXP machine that until recently was part of a Win2003

Active Directory domain. Since changing the computer from domain back

to workstation (due to death of server), I've encountered very long

delays on opening IE, right-clicking on any file, and double clicking

word and AVI docs.

 

I can only guess that it's still looking for the server for some

reason.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Richard

I would check the DNS first. Or use nslookup to check the DNS status.
