Vista Slowness when off of Corporate Windows Domain

I'm running Vista Business on new Fujitsu 2GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo T7100
1.8Ghz. When connected to the corporate LAN and member of domain, the
performance is bearable. When taking the PC off network and logging in
using
the cached domain username credentials, the computer is unbearably slow.
Any
time an application accesses the file system, (any file save or open dialog
box), just go do something else can come back later. Even trying to save or
open file on c:\ will have this long stall. I think it doesn't know that
it's off the corporate network and is looking/waiting for those file
resources. Any suggestions appreciated.

If the problem persists in Safe Mode with Networking, please use msconfig
to boot the machine into Clean Boot mode to see if the issue still occurs.

In addition please make sure if you have applied all updates and latest
drivers of network adapter in the system.
