Strange logon

I have a strange problem with Terminal Services.

A SBS 2003 server running terminal services. When anyone tries to initially
connect to server there is a 50 second wait before the logon screen appears.

I been through the likely culprits -
DNS is fine
No Network shouts
No disk activity or memory problems

The server sits there for 50 seconds then kicks into life and displays the
logon. This doesnt occur at the console of the server.

I have monitored the network using a hub and Wireshark. I can see the
initial communication, setting up session etc but then stops for 50 secs
before continuing.

Any help would be appreciated this has been bugging me for months.

Nope, it can't be. There's no way to install Terminal Services on SBS.2003
You can, however, enable remote desktop for administration on SBS. :-)

Event logs?
Since SBS does a lot of things its own way, I suggest you post future SBS
questions in microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs - I'm setting up my reply
to x-post there for this message.
 
Re: Strange logon

In addition to what Lan says
Post the IPCONFIG /all from the server
and a Client.

And Did this Just Start Happening? or is this a new SBS Install
