SYMPTOMS
After you start a Windows NT 4.0 domain controller and log on at the console, the following message appears:

  A slow network connection has been detected

The user is then asked whether or not to load a roaming profile. However, if the user logs off and logs on again after the system has been started, the message will not be displayed.



CAUSE
Depending on the speed of the computer and the number of services started when the system starts, it is possible to attempt to log on at the system console before the networking services have fully started. In this case, a user logging on at the console may get this message. After networking services have fully started, the user can log off and log on again without getting the message.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, wait until startup drive activity stops before logging on.
