Fix your broken DNS; it's the most common reason for slow login times.

Are you using Active Directory? Native mode or Mixed mode? Any WINS servers? Is NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled or disabled in your DHCP scope?

Might want to use a more informative topic in the future.
 
If AD:
 
Install DNS on the DC
Have the DNS entry in the IP settings point to itself
Have all of your clients use the DC, and ONLY the DC, for their name resolution
Configure forwarders on the DC to hand off DNS resolution to your ISP's DNS boxes for domains that it is not authoritative for
 
Also, read up on the AD documentation in the help file on proper configuration of AD and the networking environment.
