Brief Overview :-

Recently had a new work PC built : Intel G850, Gigabyte Motherboard and the rest of the gubbins.

Installed Win 7 32 bit and set it up to login to our work domain, no probs.

Unfortunately after 2 weeks the Gigabyte Mobo died and my friend (who build it) has just changed the Mobo to an ASRock Z68M. The Win 7 already installed worked (No fresh install) and once on desktop, just to make sure, he re-installed all drivers for the new Mobo from the disc. All seemed fine.

Now I have it back on my Network though, when I come to log off/shut down it is taking up to 5 mins to do so :confused:

The taskbar and icons disappear as normal, but it sits there with just the desktop picture and mouse pointer (which moves - so its not locked up). Strangely, about 1 in 6 times it seems to log off/shut down perfectly normally.

I have updated the Realtek driver to the latest from the web, no difference.

Any ideas?

How do I log the event so I can see what is timing out the log off process?

(I did a quick google and a post said this happened with the SENS service - I have disabled that, no difference.)
 
Update :

I checked the network adapter settings and it had reverted back to "Obtain IP Address" automatically etc etc. doh!

I have re-input the IP addresses etc and now it logs off immediately. :)

The strange thing was though....generally the internet is terrible here, always "cant find server blah blah" 10 refreshes later oh there the page is...

Now the internet was working really well this morning on this machine, but as soon as I have re-input the IP addresses to go through the server it has gone back to being terrible again...

This is a huge clue (imo) to why our internet is bad. Could it be a poorly configured server or the server not up to the job? (Its one of those HP Microservers)
 
Sounds like DHCP/DNS isn't set correctly in the server. Check the server settings to make sure it set correctly to the router.
 
In the Administrative Tools / DNS on the server, add some DNS forwarders to either your ISP's / Googles or OpenDNS's servers. At the moment it will be doing root lookups.

You'll get better Internet DNS lookups that way. I suspect that when you had your DNS pointing at your router, that was the reason Internet sped up.. You can prove this by temp changing the DNS again on your computer to verify the speed up. If it does, change the DNS forwarders on the server
 
if static works and dhcp does not there is a difference in you dhcp settings compared to what you are typing in...

work out the differrence you have your issue!
 
It seems apparent that the router is acting as a dhcp server. That's why when it gives an address out, Internet is quick but domain login/log off is slow. The router is currently giving itself as the DNS server rather than the actual server. Setting a static ip, points it correctly at the server but the server dns could really do with its forwarders changing.
