No. I just configured the network as a Workgroup and it worked fine.
Seems to be something about the DNS but didn't find what was.

Just a note.

Try another network card. For some reason the internal cards do this. A USB to ethernet will work as a good test.

I removed all of the networking before I setup my domain user on the workstation. I went to intel.com and got the newest driver and reinstalled the networking using a driver from 8/2004. I did not install the QOS in networking.  I used the wizzard and setup my domain user. It took a long time to marry this workstaton to the domain 10 min. After I finished the user install on the domain I rebooted. It took about 4 min to get the desktop on the first boot. I rebooted again and it took about 1 min. I rebooted 4 more times and it took 10 seconds to connect to the domain. It takes 10 seconds every time now.
