Interesting ... because any time I've seen the aforementioned DNS
problem, it's occurred before the login prompt.
Can you do a reverse lookup on the machine you're logging in from? For
example, if you login in from 192.168.0.7, once you're logged in, try
"nslookup 192.168.0.7" and see if you get a timeout.
