Exessively long logon times are usually caused by inappropriate
DNS settings.

Make sure that the clients point to your DNS Servers. I have had experience
where the system can take over twenty minutes to log in, and with the DNS
Settings correct will take under two.
With the IP Address conflict, try running an ipconfig /release on both
workstations and then ipconfig /renew to see if this free's up the conflict.
