Thanks for your reply I have tested it but the problem remains. I think it
has nothing to do with powermanagement, but the DFS client (Windows 7 has the
same problem as XP) keeps on trying to reach the complete list of domain-dfs
servers.

The DFS Client should stop trying as soon as the IP connection has changed
the DNS suffix.
