"Applying personal settings" hangup

Gateway NX860S
Intel Core 2 CPU t5600 1.83GHz
1.99 GB Ram

Network Cards:
Intel(R) PRO/100 VE
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG


So I'm having a problem with this laptop when it logs onto its user account in the domain. It seems to hang up on "Applying personal settings" when logging in. I've also noticed that the packet flow on both wireless and ethernet is very slow (About 300 Send/Receive on both connections.)

I started out by removing the network adapter drivers, thinking it might have something to do with them, no change. Then, seeing the low packet flow, tested out the cabling. The cable was fine. So I tried using TCP/IP repair, a little utility that clears the WinSock and some other things. Finally, I tried logging into the user account from a different computer on the domain and everything went fine.

EDT: I also wanted to mention that I've had this laptop running on an outside network and the packet flow is still atrocious. No other computer on the domain mentioned above is experiencing this problem.

So I'm basically out of ideas here. I've already run antivirus on the machine and haven't picked up anything malicious.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!:wave

 

Well, the basic problem is when you log in with an Account Domain in the laptop it goes slowly through the "Applying personal settings" right?

Are you trying this for Wireless or Cable (test both and compare if one is faster than the other).

When you speak about the "packet flow" you mean the Network Transfer is slow right?

That Transfer is via Wireless or Cord Cable.
