The information about the commputer like sysadmin / location / performace data etc. might be interesting, depending on your config you can completly manage you computer with snmp eg. shutdown start stop services apply new firewall rules ..... For some information take a look into http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1157.txt or http://www.openview.hp.com/ if does not need this service deinstall it, if you have products like HP OpenView or IBM Tivoli you will need this regards Patrick

Hi, is this problem only from some computers or from many? which network connection do you have (Shared,Switched,Routed)? is the server in the same subnet as the clients with the problem? have you many logon scripts running? is this with all users or some accounts? have you server based profiles? might be corupted? is the problem reproduce able wenn the workstation is rebooted/ runs some time/you log off and log on again? does the name resolution goes well? might be wins?
