He'll need to make sure DNS forwarding is set up on the
DC, otherwise the client won't get any Internet DNS
resolution.

It's a lot better to have all the clients use the DC for
DNS and will speed up Internet access.

>make sure the built in ICF firewall is disabled for LAN

If his computers are on a LAN with no direct Internet
access then turning off ICF will be safe enough but having
it on SHOULD not slow down login access, just prevent
other clients from making access to the client computer.

He might have the network connection miss-configured in a
number of ways, it can be faster to set line speed to
100mbit rather than using "auto sense" even if it auto-
negotiates 100mbit.
