Often that happens for a domain computer if it has then incorrect dns server
listed in it's tcp/ip properties. It needs to be a domain controller and
never have an ISP dns server listed in preferred dns servers. The first time
you join a computer to the domain it can take a while for security settings
to be updated. Was it ever able to get past "applying security settings" ??
If it works fine in safe mode with networking it could be a conflict with a
startup service/application that you could try to troubleshoot by using
selective startup with a copy of msconfig from an XP box or downloaded from
the internet by searching Google for msconfig download. You also might want
to try and uninstalling some of the updates in add and remove programs to
see if a particular update is causing a problem. with your hardware
configuration. However that could expose the computer to an attack from an
infected computer on the network if you think that is a risk. --- Steve
