Never used setprfdc. Does it tell you that it connected to the DC that you think it should connect to?
Somebody posted a way to see what DC your authenticated against.

Subject: Intermittent Network logon problem
One of our BDC's (our DNS server) on our NT4 network went down two weeks ago
and was unrecoverable, so we had to rebuild it from scratch. Ever since
then we have had an erratic logon problems throughout our network. Yes we
are running DHCP. It's all one subnet and each different building has it's
own BDC that the users are pointed to using setprfdc to use as their
preferred domain controller.
When logging on, my users will occasionally not get their logon script to
run even though they are logged into the network. Upon reboot and relogging
in, it then it maps fine. It's never on the same machine twice, and it's in
every corner of our network across three linked building across two city
blocks.
Sometimes it takes turning the machine off for a couple of minutes before
rebooting in order for it to connect to the BDC to run their script.
I'm running out of ideas here. Does anyone have any ideas how I can
troubleshoot this? I'm going nuts running all over the place, trying to
figure this one out.
Your ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Troy
