Xaroc 0 Posted June 3, 2001 between the network settings popup and the login box. It is about a minute and a half. I followed some of the suggestions in the tweaking faq on this site and it went from being a quick boot sequence to this minute and a half delay. I have tried a few things to try and put it back the way it was but still a delay. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post

Xaroc 0 Posted June 3, 2001 The nic is attached to my cable/dsl router and has been assigned it's own IP and other relevant TCP/IP settings (which I double checked). Here are the rest of my system specs just in case they raise any red flags: 1 Ghz athlon Abit KT7A 256MB pc133 SDRAM 80 GB Maxtor HD 2x 13 GB HD (IBM and Maxtor) in a RAID-0 setup on a Promise FastTrak controller Hercules Game Theater XP running 2.02 Win2k drivers Elsa 920 Geforce 3 running the 12.40 reference drivers 3Com 905 10/100 Network card SMC Barricade Cable/DSL router @home cable service setup for 5 machines via the router. Thanks for the feedback. This problem is driving me nuts. Share this post Link to post
Xaroc 0 Posted June 5, 2001 Figured it out. Pretty simple. I had turned off the event log service as per the instructions in the tweak guide on ntcompatible.com and when I turned it back on, bingo, it loads in seconds now. Share this post Link to post
