Windows XP slow logon to DOMAIN

We r facing very slow logon into our domain.

This problem only occurs on the new laptops. We can easily & quickly connect
them to the domain but after restarting the laptop, when we try logging in as
the username, it takes more than 40 minutes to logon to the desktop.

Funny thing is that all the other machines (old machines) logon very easily
into the domain, its only the new laptops around 10 of them & this problem
started being noticed for over 2 weeks

please help me resolve this

Thanks

Check the DNS settings on the laptops. They should only be pointing to the
server.
