I have server 2003 installed on a 800 MHz machine with about 200MB memory. It does fine but it takes very very long time to log into the domain. Is there anything I could do to speed up the login process besides adding more memory? I can login normally when I'm logging to the domain on the computer that has the server running. The problem is only when I'm logging into the domain using my other computer that is running xp pro.

Yeah, make sure the xp pro computer has the server's IP as it's primary DNS server address (not your isp's). On your DNS server add fowarders to fowarders (this will be where you'll enter your ISP's dns server IP's)

Keatron, thanks a lot. That's what I had forgotten to do. It's working beautifully now.
